A verse about ‘urging sentient beings universally’ from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’
《般舟讚》「普勸眾生」之偈:
Let me advise all sentient beings to take care of their threefold karma,
Recite Amitabha’s Name while walking, standing, sitting and lying down.
Never forgetting the suffering in hells,
Setting forth the augmentative mind of rebirth-aspiration
Vowing not to commit the karma that leads us to the Three Wretched Realms.
And not pursue the karmic reward of human and celestial joy.
普勸眾生護三業, 行住坐臥念彌陀;
一切時中憶地獄, 發起增上往生心;
誓願不作三塗業, 人天樂報亦無心。
Namo Amituofo!
