Amitabha Gatha (彌陀偈)

Amitabha's body is the color of gold,

The splendor of his hallmarks has no peer;

The light of his brow shines around a hundred worlds,

Wide as the seas are his eyes pure and clear.

Shining in his brilliance by transformation

Are countless Bodhisattvas and infinite Buddhas.

His forty-eight vows will be our liberation,

In nine lotus stages we reach the farthest shore.

 

Homage to the Buddha of the Western Pure Land,

Kind and Compassionate Amitabha

Homage to the Buddha of the Western Pure Land,

Kind and Compassionate Amitabha

Homage to the Buddha of the Western Pure Land,

Kind and Compassionate Amitabha.
