A Verse about Compassionate Advice and Cautions quoted from “In Praise of the Rite of Rebirth” by Master Shandao
善導大師《往生禮讚》慈悲勸誡
I always wish that, near the end-of-life, all of the encounters that appear before me are splendid scenes under splendid circumstances.
I hope that I will see Amitabha, the Master of Great Compassion , Avalokitesvara, Mahasthamaprapta and all honorable sacred beings.
With my head up, I wish that Amitabha will emit his divine light and receive me with his hand; so that I can be reborn in his Pure Land with recourse to his Fundamental Vow.
恒願一切臨終時,勝緣勝境悉現前,
願睹彌陀大悲主,觀音勢至十方尊,
仰願神光蒙授手,乘佛本願生彼國。
Namo Amituofo!
