31 Verses Explaining the Amitabha Sutra from in “Praise of Dharma Practices” by Master Shandao
15. A Verse to Praise Amitabha’s Light and Life as his Rewards in Virtues
Wish to be reborn. Wish to be reborn.
Through reaching eternal Nirvana, Amitabha Buddha always exists in the cosmos.
His life has been prolonged to an immeasurable extent.
It lasts thousands, millions, billions, and trillions of eons, as many as sands of the Ganges River.
Once seated, Amitabha Buddha remains motionless. His body can emit light permeating the boundless cosmos.
The features of Amitabha Buddha’s body are filled with goodness, genuine and golden in color. Majestically, he delivers sentient beings while sitting alone.
When any ordinary or sacred beings in the ten directions recite his Name, Amitabha Buddha splits his body and dispatches numerous manifested Buddhas to go and welcome them.
When Amitabha-reciters are ready to be reborn, their Dharma bodies travel through space with the speed of a single thought, and join the Buddha’s Assembly. Their bodies and lives become the same as and equal to Amitabha Buddha’s.
All people should dedicate their merits and aspire to be reborn in the Pure Land. Let’s hold fragrant flowers in our hands, and always make offerings to the Buddha.
15. 讚果德光壽偈
願往生 願往生
果得涅槃常住世 壽命延長難可量
千劫萬劫恆沙劫 兆載永劫亦無央
一坐無移亦不動 徹窮後際放身光
靈儀相好真金色 巍巍獨坐度眾生
十方凡聖專心向 分身遣化往相迎
一念乘空入佛會 身色壽命盡皆平
眾等迴心皆願往 手執香華常供養
Namo Amituofo!
