道品偈
Verses [On] Paths [And] Grades

信愿念佛易行道,
更加简易不成道。
更难即成难行道,
难易颠倒不得道。

[With] Faith [and] Aspiration mindful [of] Buddha [is the] Easy Practice Path, [with that] even more easy not forming [this] path. [With that] even [more] difficult then becoming [the] Difficult Practice Path, [with the] difficult [and] easy inverted, not attaining [the Pure Land] path.

持名正行必得品,
更多助行更上品。
有正无助亦得品,
无正有助不得品。

Upholding [the Buddha’s] name [as the] Main Practice definitely attains [a] grade [of birth, with] even more Supportive Practices [attains an] even higher grade [of birth]. Having [the] Main [Practice] without Supportive [Practices] likewise attains [a] grade [of birth], without [the] Main [Practice and] having Supportive [Practices does] not attain [a] grade [of birth].

Please be mindful of your speech, Amituofo!
