第六讚歎法(當起立恭敬合掌。想此身正對彌陀及一一佛前說偈讚願云)
Praise of the Dharma (Sixth)(Rise, stand upright, respectfully join your palms. Visualize this very body as being directly before Amitabha and each and every Buddha, reciting verses of praise and vows.)
色如閻浮金 面逾淨滿月
身光智慧明 所照無邊際
降伏魔冤眾 善化諸人天
乘彼八正船 能度難度者
聞名得不退 是故歸命禮
His form is like Jambu River gold, His face surpasses the full moon's light.
His body's light of wisdom shines, Illuminating realms without limit.
He conquers hosts of Mara's kin, And skillfully transforms gods and men.
Riding the ship of the Eightfold Path, He ferries those so hard to save.
Hearing his name, one never falls back; Therefore, I bow down in homage.
以此歎佛功德。修行大乘無上善根。奉福上界天龍八部大梵天王三十三天。閻羅五道六齋八王。行病鬼王各及眷屬。此土神祇僧伽藍內護正法者。又為國王帝主土境萬民。師僧父母善惡知識。造寺檀越十方信施。廣及法界眾生。願藉此善根平等熏修。功德智慧二種莊嚴。臨命終時俱生樂國。
With this we praise the virtue of the Buddha, cultivating the supreme roots of goodness in the Mahayana. This merit is offered up to the gods of the higher realms—the Eight Classes of Dragons and Spirits, the Great Brahma King, the Thirty-Three Heavens; to Yama, the Five Paths, the Six Purification Days, the Eight Kings; to the Plague Sending Spirit and their retinues; to the local spirits and the guardians of the Dharma within the Sangha. It is likewise offered to the kings and emperors of the land and to all its people; to teachers, monks, and parents; to those who create good karma and those who cause evil; to the benefactors who built the monastery and the faithful donors from ten directions; and extensively throughout all beings in the Dharma realm.
May we, relying on this root of goodness, share it equally, cultivating both merit and wisdom—the two ornaments—so that when the time of death comes, we may all be reborn together in the Land of Bliss.
