【上品下生】
[14.3] [The High Grade’s Low Births]
上品下生者，亦信因果，不谤大乘。但发无上道心，以此功德，回向愿求生极乐国。
[For] those [of] High Grade’s Low Births, [they] likewise believe [in] cause [and] effect, [and do] not slander [the] Great Vehicle. Only giving rise [to the] unsurpassable path’s mind, with these meritorious virtues, dedicating [with the] aspiration [of] seeking birth [in the] Land [Of] Ultimate Bliss.
行者命欲终时，阿弥陀佛，及观世音、大势至、与诸菩萨，持金莲华，化作五百佛，来迎此人。五百化佛，一时授手。赞言：『法子，汝今清净，发无上道心，我来迎汝。』
When [these] practitioners’ lives almost end, Amitā[bha] Buddha and Contemplator [Of The] World’s Sounds, Great Power Arrived, with many Bodhisattvas, holding [a] golden lotus flower, manifesting as five hundred Buddhas, [will] come [to] welcome these persons. [These] five hundred manifested Buddhas, at once extend [their] hands. Praising [by] saying, “Dharma disciple, [as] you now [are] pure, [and] gave rise [to the] unsurpassable path’s mind, I [have] come [to] welcome you.”
见此事时，即自见身坐金莲华。坐已华合，随世尊后，即得往生七宝池中。
When seeing this matter, [they] immediately personally see [their] bodies seated [on] golden lotus flowers. Seated already, [the] flowers close, following [the] World-Honoured [One from] behind, [to] immediately attain rebirth within seven treasures’ ponds.
一日一夜，莲华乃开。七日之中，乃得见佛。虽见佛身，于众相好，心不明了。于三七日后，乃了了见。闻众音声，皆演妙法。游历十方，供养诸佛。于诸佛前，闻甚深法。
[In] one day [and] one night, [the] lotus flowers then open. Within seven days, then attaining sight [of the] Buddha. Although seeing [the] Buddha’s body, of all [his] forms’ excellences, [their] minds [do] not understand [them] clearly. Of three [of] seven days later, then understanding clearly [when] seeing [them]. Hearing all sounds, [that] all expound [the] wonderful Dharma. Travelling [in the] ten directions, making offerings [to] all Buddhas. From all Buddhas, before [them], hearing [the] extremely profound Dharma.
经三小劫，得百法明门，住欢喜地。是名上品下生者。
Passing three small kalpas, attaining [the] hundred dharmas’ clear door, abiding [on the] Joy Ground. [These] are named [as] those [with] High Grade’s Low Births.
是名上辈生想，名第十四观。」
[This] is named [the] High Grade’s Births’ Contemplation, named [the] Fourteenth Contemplation.’
