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
Amitabha universally invites all sentient beings of the ten directions, in the realm of birth-and-death,
All of you must come to my land, in order to eliminate all of your evils at once.
Once a person dwells in the Land of Nirvana,
Throughout infinite time and boundless space he will never worry again.
His every thought, at all times, is fully enlightened.
The vows and practices of the ten bodhisattva grounds are naturally accomplished,
With perceptive expedience and compassion in every ground.
They are never mistaken because they rely upon the Buddha’s teachings.
普勸十方生死界,同心斷惡盡須來;
一入涅槃常住國,徹窮後際更何憂。
念念時中常證悟,十地行願自然成;
地地慈悲巧方便,以佛為師無錯悟。
Namo Amituofo!
