A verse about “Non-retrogression upon rebirth” from “In Praise of Dharma Practice” by Master Shandao
善導大師語錄 法事讚》「生即不退」之偈:
The Saha Realm is a world of suffering that is not suitable for living.
The Land of Bliss is an unconditioned world that is truly splendid.
All nine levels of sentient beings can attain the state of non-retrogression if they dedicate the virtues they have attained.
They become Avinivartaniya Bodhisattvas in the state of no-birth.
娑婆極苦非生處,
極樂無為實是精;
九品俱迴得不退,
阿鞞跋致即無生。
Namo Amituofo!
