A verse about “the naturalness of manifesting the ten Bodhisattva stages”, quoted from “In Praise of the Rite of Rebirth”
《往生禮讚》「十地自然」之偈:
Tathagatas of the Six Directions extend their tongues to affirm that:
By reciting Amitabha’s Name exclusively,
Sentient beings will be born in the Western Land of Bliss.
Once born there in a blooming lotus,
They can listen to the wondrous Dharma teachings.
The aspiration and practices of the ten Bodhisattva stages manifest naturally.
六方如來舒舌證,專稱名號至西方;
到彼華開聞妙法,十地願行自然彰。
Namo Amituofo!
