A Verse sharing 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 vow to renounce embryonic birth in this world and vow to be reborn in the Land of Peace and Joy.
So I can soon see Amitabha Buddha, whose body contains boundless merit and virtues.
I vow to visit all buddhas and benevolent sacred beings as well;
And attain the Six Paranormal Powers in order to embrace and deliver suffering sentient beings.
In the same way the emptiness of the Dharma Realm is boundless, so are my vows.
願捨胎藏形,往生安樂國;
速見彌陀佛,無邊功德身。
奉覲諸如來,賢聖亦復然;
獲六神通力,救攝苦眾生。
虛空法界盡,我願亦如是。
Namo Amituofo!
