notes
synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
The pure land paradise is not far.
When in reverence this truth is heard even once,
He who praises it and gladly embraces it
Has merit without end.
How much more he who turns within
And confirms directly his own nature,
That his own nature is no-nature --
Such has transcended vain words.
The gate opens, and cause and effect are one;
Straight runs the way -- not two, not three.
Taking as form the form of no-form,
Going or returning, he is ever at home.
Taking as thought the thought of no-thought,
Singing and dancing, all is the voice of truth.
Wide is the heaven of boundless samadhi,
Radiant the full moon of the fourfold wisdom.
What remains to be sought?
Nirvana is clear before him,
This very place the lotus paradise,
This very body the Buddha.
