Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
A winding emerald stream reflects the azure sky
Amidst the chant of Buddha's name a hundred birds cry
Willow branches dance softly in the breeze
Flowers whisper blessings bringing hearts at ease
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Walking alone between water and cloud
Each chant of Buddha's name makes the heart proud
Countless worries fade with the wind’s flight
Buddha's light brings blessings shining bright
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Who can fathom worldly greed and plight
Buddha's light dispels delusion’s night
Now awakened from the six paths’pain
Amitabha’s name we chant again
With Buddha’s grace we cross to peace
Beyond fleeting time where sorrows cease
Centuries of strife and endless desire
Cannot claim the lands we once aspire
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Healthy in body mindful in prayer
Together we sail on Buddha’s vow so fair
Westward blooms the nine-grade lotus bright
Fragrant light fills realms with pure delight
Namo Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
Each chant a lotus pure and white
Virtue’s boat sails with mercy’s might
In blossoms’glow we see the throne
Eternal joy forever known
