【第九观：遍观一切色身相想】
[09] [The Ninth Contemplation: Everywhere Contemplating All Physical Bodies’ Forms’ Contemplation]
佛告阿难，及韦提希：「此想成已，次当更观无量寿佛身相光明。
[The] Buddha told Ānanda and Vaidehī, ‘[With] this contemplation accomplished already, next [that] should also [be] contemplated [are] Immeasurable Life Buddha’s body’s form’s bright lights.
阿难当知，无量寿佛，身如百千万亿夜摩天阎浮檀金色。佛身高六十万亿那由他恒河沙由旬。
Ānanda, [you] should know, [that] Immeasurable Life Buddha’s body [is] like [a] thousand million koṭis [of] Yama Heaven’s Jāmbūnada’s golden colours. [The] Buddha’s body [is as] tall [as] six hundred thousand koṭis’ nayutas [of] Ganges River’s sands [of] yojanas.
眉间白毫，右旋宛转，如五须弥山。
[The] fine white hair between [his] brows, [to the] right circumambulating [and] winding around, [is] like five Sumeru mountains.
佛眼如四大海水，青白分明。
[The] Buddha’s eyes [are] like [the] four great oceans’ water, [with their] blue [and] white distinct [and] clear.
身诸毛孔，演出光明，如须弥山。彼佛圆光，如百亿三千大千世界。
[His] body’s all pores, change [to] emit bright light, like Mount Sumeru. That Buddha’s halo’s light, [is] like [that of a] hundred koṭis [of] three-thousandfold great-thousandfold worlds.
于圆光中，有百万亿那由他恒河沙化佛。一一化佛，亦有众多无数化菩萨，以为侍者。
In [his] halo’s light within, has [a] million koṭis’ nayutas [of] Ganges River’s sands [of] manifested Buddhas. Each [and every] one manifested Buddha, likewise has many innumerable manifested Bodhisattvas, with [them] as attendants.
无量寿佛，有八万四千相。一一相中，各有八万四千随形好。一一好中，复有八万四千光明。一一光明，遍照十方世界念佛众生，摄取不舍。其光相好，及与化佛，不可具说。
Immeasurable Life Buddha has eighty-four thousand forms. Each [and every] one form within, each has eighty-four thousand appearance-following excellences. Each [and every] one excellence within, moreover, has eighty-four thousand bright lights. Each [and every] one bright light, everywhere illuminates [the] ten directions’ worlds’ sentient beings [who are] mindful [of the] Buddha, gathering [and] receiving, not abandoning [them]. His lights’ forms’ excellences, and with manifested Buddhas, cannot [be] completely spoken [of].
但当忆想，令心眼见。见此事者，即见十方一切诸佛。以见诸佛故，名念佛三昧。作是观者，名观一切佛身。
[You] only should recollect [and] contemplate, [to] enable [the] mind’s eye [to] see. Those seeing these matters, [will] immediately see [the] ten directions’ all Buddhas. With seeing all Buddhas thus, [this is] named Samādhi [From] Mindfulness [Of] Buddha. Those doing this contemplation, [are] named [as doing] Contemplation [Of] All Buddhas’ Bodies.
以观佛身故，亦见佛心。佛心者，大慈悲是。以无缘慈，摄诸众生。
With contemplation [of the] Buddhas’ bodies thus, likewise seeing [the] Buddhas’ minds. Those Buddhas’ minds are great loving-kindness [and] compassion. With unconditional loving-kindness, gathering all sentient beings.
作此观者，舍身他世，生诸佛前，得无生忍。是故智者，应当系心，谛观无量寿佛。
Those [who] do this contemplation, [when] relinquishing [their] bodies [for] other lives, [will be] born before all Buddhas, [to] attain Non-Arising’s Forbearance. Therefore, those wise should [with] continual minds, attentively contemplate Immeasurable Life Buddha.
观无量寿佛者，从一相好入。但观眉间白毫，极令明了。见眉间白毫相者，八万四千相好，自然当现。见无量寿佛者，即见十方无量诸佛。得见无量诸佛故，诸佛现前授记。
Those contemplating Immeasurable Life Buddha, [should] from one form’s excellence enter. Only contemplating [the] fine white hair between [his] brows, [to the] utmost enabled [to be] understood clearly. [For] those seeing [the] fine white hair between [his] brows’ form, [the] eighty-four thousand forms’ excellences, [will] naturally then appear. Those [who] see Immeasurable Life Buddha, [will] immediately see [the] ten directions’ immeasurable all Buddhas. Attaining sight [of] immeasurable all Buddhas thus, all Buddhas [will] manifest [in their] presence [to] confer predictions.
是为遍观一切色身相，名第九观。作是观者，名为正观。若他观者，名为邪观。」
[This] is [known] as Everywhere Contemplating All Physical Bodies’ Forms, named [the] Ninth Contemplation. Those doing this contemplation, [are] named as [having] right contemplation. If [there are] those [with] other contemplations, [they are] named as wrong contemplations.’
