Verses On The Three Vows, Three Provisions And Three Minds

摄生三愿,
须至诚心,
修三资粮,
信愿与行。

Aligning with the Three Vows For Gathering Sentient Beings, there must be the [Mind (i)] Utmost Sincere Mind, cultivating the Three Provisions, of [Provision (1)] Faith, [Provision (2)] Aspiration and [Provision (3)] Practice.

深心信乐,
切愿即是,
回向发愿,
欲生我国。

The [Mind (ii)] Profound [Faithful] Mind is joyful [Provision (1)] Faith. Sincere [Provision (2)] Aspiration then is the [Mind (iii)] Mind Of [Vow 20/19/18] Dedication With Giving Rise Of Aspiration (回向发愿心), desiring birth in my [Pure] Land.

实行即是,
闻我名号,
乃至十念,
系念我国。

True [Provision (3)] Practice then is to [Vow 20/18] hear my name (Āmítuófó), and even with ten thoughts, be continually mindful of my [Pure] Land.

更上即是,
植众德本,
发菩提心,
修诸功德。
