A verse about “ a body of purple-golden color” from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’ by Master Shandao
善導大師語錄《般舟讚》「身紫金色」之偈:
Each newly born body [in the Land of Bliss] manifests in a purple-golden color,
Which is the same as all other living beings in the assembly.
Sometimes, they go to a jewelled pavilion, and attend the assembly.
All of them are always glad to see each other.
Various kinds of adornments can be recognized,
As they are unobstructed when viewed from inside or outside.
Sometimes when travelling, they pause to enjoy the Dharma bliss for a moment,
And they naturally attain the Samadhi of No-Birth.
新往化生紫金色,與諸大眾無殊異;
或入寶樓眾中坐,大眾見者皆歡喜。
種種莊嚴不可識,內外相看無障礙;
停足須臾受法樂,三昧無生自然悟。
Namo Amituofo!
