In the Western Pure Land, you will not regress,
Ultimately attaining Buddhahood in this life;
With one goal in mind, the vast sea of sentient beings sincerely vows,
To attain Bodhi for ourselves and others, once and for all.

The mind was the seed of past transgressions.
With the right conditions and the passage of time, retribution appears.
Plant wholesome roots now and transform your mind and thoughts,
To eradicate evil, give rise to joy, and put your mind at ease.
No matter what situations you encounter in the future,
Right views will be your seed of Bodhi.
All phenomena in the past, present and future are illusory in nature.
When the sun of wisdom shines brightly, the clouds of ignorance will dissipate.
