東坡居士 偈頌法門
Verse of Layman Dongpo
(《白蓮集》云：東坡居士，蘇軾，字子瞻。讚阿彌陀頌曰：)
(From the White Lotus Collection: The Layman Dongpo, Su Shi, styled Zizhan, composed this Praise of Amitabha:)
佛以大圓覺， 充塞恒沙界， 我以顛倒想， 出沒生死中。 云何以一念， 得往生淨土？
我造無始業， 本從一念生， 既從一念生， 還從一念滅， 生滅滅盡處， 則我與佛同。
如投水海中， 如風中鼓槖， 雖有大聖智， 亦不能分別。 願我先父母， 與一切眾生，
在處為西方， 所遇皆極樂， 人人無量壽， 無往亦無來。
The Buddha’s vast perfect awareness Fills the cosmos like infinite grains of sand. But I, lost in distorted thoughts, Sink and rise within the cycle of birth and death. How, then, can a single thought Lead me to rebirth in the Pure Land?
All the karma I've created since beginningless time Originally arose from a single thought. Since it comes from one thought, It also ceases with one thought. Where birth and cessation are completely extinguished, I and the Buddha are one.
Like pouring water into the vast ocean, Like the bellows in the wind— Even the greatest holy wisdom Cannot distinguish them. May my past parents And all sentient beings—
Wherever they are, be the Western Pure Land, Whatever they encounter, be ultimate bliss. May every person have boundless life, With neither coming nor going.
