Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The Buddha's vows are vast and profound
Opening gates of compassion for all beings in the ten directions
A single chant of the Buddha's name
Long contemplated
Long awaited
Forty-eight vows to liberate all beings
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Chanting connects us to the Buddha's wisdom
Endless afflictions dissolve like mist
Peace and happiness
Blessed by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
Good fortune comes to those who chant
Good fortune comes
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
The bitter sea of samsara is deep and heavy
Yet the Buddha's power transcends it—utterly wondrous
Faith vows and practice are true and pure
Six periods of chanting focused and sincere
The Buddha's power is beyond thought
A special Dharma door
A refuge for all beings
The bridge of Dharma leads beyond the mundane
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Lotus blossoms bloom in the Pure Land
Guided by the Buddha's light
Golden ground jeweled ponds virtuous waters and wondrous music
Offering fragrant incense pervading the ten directions
The Buddha's great vows are pure and true
In this life we bow to the Compassionate One amid nine-grade lotus blossoms
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
