　　Shariputra, what do you think

　　 Why is it called Sutra which all Buddhas protect and bear in mind

　　 Shariputra, if a good man or good woman hears this sutra and upholds it, and hears the names of all these Buddhas, this good man or good woman will also be one whom all Buddhas protect and bear in mind, and will attain non-retreat from anuttarasamyaksambodhi. Therefore, Shariputra, all of you should believe and accept my words and the words all Buddhas speak.

　　Shariputra, if there are people who have already made the vow, who now make the vow, or who will make the vow, I wish to be born in Amitabha”s country, these people, whether born in the past, now being born there, or to be born there in the future, will all attain non-retreat from anuttarasamyaksambodhi. Therefore, Shariputra, all good men and good women who believe should make the vow, I wish to be born in that country.

　　Shariputra, just as I now praise the inconceivable merit and virtue of all Buddhas, all those Buddhas also praise my inconceivable merit and virtue, saying these words: Shakyamuni Buddha can accomplish extremely difficult and rare deeds in the Saha Land during the evil time of the Five Turbidities: during the time turbidity, the views turbidity, the affliction turbidity, the living beings turbidity, and the lifespan turbidity. He can attain anuttarasamyaksambodhi and for the sake of living beings proclaim this Dharma, which the whole world finds hard to believe.

　　Shariputra, you should know that I, in the evil time of the Five Turbidities, perform these difficult deeds, attain anuttarasamyaksambodhi, and for the entire world proclaim this Dharma which is difficult to believe, extremely difficult!

　　After the Buddha spoke this Sutra, Shariputra, all the Bhikshus, and the entire world of gods, humans, asuras, and others, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyously delighted in it, faithfully accepted it, bowed and withdrew.

　　In Praise Of Amitabha

　　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 (3x)

　　Namo Amita Buddha (recite at length)
