Verses On Severing Mixed Thoughts

念佛杂念起,
即刻再念佛。
更至心念佛,
更至心听念。

When mindful of the Buddha with mixed thoughts arising, immediately be mindful of the Buddha again. With the even more utmost sincere mind recite the Buddha’s name, with the even more utmost sincere mind listen to the Buddha’s name recited.

若随杂念去,
更多杂念起。
相续至念听,
断一切杂念。

If following mixed thoughts going, even more mixed thoughts will arise. In continual succession with the utmost sincere mind reciting and listening, this severs all mixed thoughts.

Please be mindful of your speech, Amituofo!
