The lyrics were written by Layman Benshan
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Time flies swiftly
The old departs the new arrives in haste
In the chant of the Buddha’s name
All troubles vanish—
The true home of Ultimate Bliss
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Following the teachings faithfully
The Buddha vows to save all beings
Transcending the three realms
All dharmas return to the source—
The path to Western bliss and wisdom
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
In the blink of an eye all turns to emptiness
Like one viewing flowers in a dream
As years shift and change
The Buddha’s name resounds—
Ultimate Bliss wisdom and blessings complete
Namo Amitabha!
Namo Amitabha!
Life is suffering and emptiness
All worldly charms follow karma
Sincere devotion moves the heavens
Faith true vows earnest—
All realms return to the Pure Land
Sincere devotion moves the heavens
Faith true vows earnest—
All realms return to the Pure Land
