【第十三观：杂想观】
[13] [The Thirteenth Contemplation: Mixed Contemplation]
佛告阿难，及韦提希：「若欲至心生西方者，先当观于一丈六像，在池水上。
[The] Buddha told Ānanda and Vaidehī, ‘If [there are] those desiring [with the] sincere mind [to be] born [in the] Western [Pure Land, they] should first contemplate [an] image of one zhàng [and] six [chǐs], on [a] pond’s water above.
如先所说无量寿佛，身量无边，非是凡夫心力所及。然彼如来宿愿力故，有忆想者，必得成就。
Like that first said, [as] Immeasurable Life Buddha’s body’s measure [is] boundless, [it] is not that ordinary beings’ minds’ power [can] reach. However, [with] that Thus Come [One’s] past vows’ power thus, those [who] have recollection [and] contemplation, [will] definitely attain accomplishment.
但想佛像，得无量福，况复观佛具足身相。阿弥陀佛，神通如意，于十方国，变现自在。或现大身，满虚空中。或现小身，丈六八尺。所现之形，皆真金色。
Only contemplating [the] Buddha’s image, attains immeasurable blessings, moreover [with] contemplating [of the] Buddha’s complete body’s forms. Amitā[bha] Buddha, [with] supernormal [powers] as wished, in [the] ten directions’ lands, change [and] appear [with] ease. Perhaps appearing [with a] great body, filling empty space within. Perhaps appearing [with a] small body, [of one] zhàng [and] six [to] eight chǐs. Those appeared forms, [are] all pure gold [in] colour.
圆光化佛，及宝莲华，如上所说。观世音菩萨，及大势至，于一切处，身同众生。
[From his] halo’s light manifests Buddhas and treasure lotus flowers, like those above said. Contemplator [Of The] World’s Sounds Bodhisattva and Great Power Arrived, [appear] in all places, [with] bodies similar [to] sentient beings.
但观首相，知是观世音，知是大势至。此二菩萨，助阿弥陀佛普化一切。是为杂想观，名第十三观。」
Only [by] contemplating [their] heads’ forms, knowing [it] is Contemplator [Of The] World’s Sounds, knowing [it] is Great Power Arrived. These two Bodhisattvas support Amitā[bha] Buddha [in] universally transforming all. [This] is [known] as Mixed Contemplation, named [the] Thirteenth Contemplation.’
