Verses of praise for the Buddha Amitābha
The body of Buddha Amitābha shines forth brilliant golden colored light,
and the splendor of his hallmarks has no peer.
His white curled tuft between his eyebrows is as big as five mount Sumerus,
and his blue eyes are as wide as the four great oceans, pure and clear.
Within his light he let appear endless Buddhas,
and boundless Bodhisattvas.
His forty-eight vows will be our liberation,
through the nine lotus flower-stages he enable us to reach the farthest shore.
Homage to the Western Land named Utmost Happiness,
of the most kind and compassionate Buddha Amitābha.
I take refuge with and praise Buddha Amitābha!
Namo Buddha Amitābha
