A Verse sharing Compassionate Advice and Cautions - quoted from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’ by Master Shandao
善導大師《般舟讚》慈悲勸誡
When the terrible fires of hell come to threaten him,
At this critical moment he is fortunate to meet a good advisor.
With a compassionate mind, he teaches him to recite Amitabha’s Name.
The fires of hell become a cool breeze.
The celestial flowers come whirling down with the wind.
You join the manifested buddhas and bodhisattvas and ascend on their lotus platform.
地獄猛火皆來逼,當時即值善知識,
發大慈悲教念佛,地獄猛火變風涼;
天華旋轉隨風落,化佛菩薩乘華上。
Namo Amituofo!
