Brief Prayer to be Reborn in the Blissful Pure Land of Amitabha

EH MA HO!

In the center is the marvelous Buddha Amitabha of Boundless Light, On the right side is the Lord of Great Compassion, and on the left is Vajrapani, the Lord of Powerful Means. All are surrounded by limitless buddhas and bodhisattvas.

Immeasurable peace and happiness is the blissful pure land of Dewachen. When I ad all beings pass from samsara, may we be born there without taking samsaric rebirth. May we have the blessings of meeting Amitabha face to face.

By the power and blessings of the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions. May we attain this aspiration without hindrance.

The Buddha of Boundless Light

The regular practice of Buddha Amitabha

NAMO AMI DEWA YE!

I prostrate to Buddha Amitabha, the embodiment of all the Buddhas.

Namo! I take refuge in all objects of refuge, the Three Jewels and the Three Roots. In order to establish all sentient being in the state of Buddhahood. I cultivate the mind to achieve enlightenment.

Recite Three Times

AH! All Dharma’s are unborn, pervaded by the appearance-emptiness. Great compassion and awareness-emptiness are uncontrived. From within the manifestation of all pervading awareness appears a moon disc on a lotus, the symbol of freedom from attachment. Upon the lotus and moon disc seat, I appear in the form of the Great Compassionate One, white with one face and four hands. The first two hands are joined at the heart and hold the wish-fulfilling gem; the second right hand holds a crystal mala, and the left, a lotus. I am adorned with all the ornaments of a Sambhogakaya Buddha and am seated in the vajra asana posture. I meditate on this appearance without substantial existence.

Above and in front of me is a lotus throne supported by peacocks upon which rests a muti-colored, thousand-petaled lotus. Upon the lotus are sun and moon discs that dispel the suffering of heat and cold. In the center of the moon disc is the red seed syllable HRI, the primary cause. Light radiates out and returns to the HRI which transforms into Buddha Amitabha, the embodiment of all the Buddhas. He radiates ruby-red light, has one face and two hands in the mudra of equipoise. He holds a bow filled with wisdom nectar. He wears the three Dharma robes and is seated in the vajra asana posture. Fully adored with the major and minor marks, he is radiant, glorious, noble and exalted.

To the right of Buddha Amitabha is white Chenrezig, and to the left is blue Vajrapani, standing upon moon disks that rest on lotuses. These three are surrounded by a vast assembly of Buddhas, bodhisattvas and svaraka arhats. From the three syllables in the three centers light radiates to the realm of Dewachen, inviting Buddha Amitabha and his retinue.

HUNG HRI/ From the realm of Dewachen in the west, O Lord Buddha Amitabha, please be seated on this stainless throne of lotus sun and moon discs. I prostrate to you with my body, speech and mind for the benefit of myself and all sentient beings. I make offerings of all constituent phenomena free from the separation of awareness and emptiness. I purify all non-virtuous deeds.

DZA HUNG BAM HO – The wisdom beings and samaya beings become inseparably one.

Mantra Recitation

HRI In the heart center of Buddha Amitabha is a lotus and moon disc, upon which stands the seed syllable HRI, encircled by the mantra rotating to the right. In the realm of Dewachen, all sentient beings are in the form of Buddha Amitabha; all sound is the sound of unproduced mantra; full mindfulness-awareness is the unborn dharmakaya state. I recite the mantra in this three-fold vajra state.


Red HRI

The entire outer universe and all sentient beings dissolve into light are absorbed into Buddha Amitabha in front of me. From his four centers, light radiates and is absorbed into my four centers and by this, I am established in the four kayas.
In the state of unproduced emptiness-appearance, all surrounding figures dissolve into Buddha Amitabha, who then melts into light that dissolves into me. I receive all the excellent qualities of the Buddhas. Rest in this unproduced state.


Vajrapani
The Lord of Powerful Means

EH MA HO!

How wonderful the state of inseparable appearance and emptiness!
By this virtuous practice, may I quickly realize Buddha Amitabha and may all sentient beings without exception, be established in that state.
