过关偈
Verse On Crossing Barriers
障碍无数种，如心生贪欲，
嗔恚与愚痴，昏沉等杂念。
Obstacles are of innumerable kinds, like those from the mind giving rise to greedy desires, anger and ignorance, with drowsiness and other stray thoughts.
身起病痛苦，畏惧及哀伤，
散乱无皈依，应当直念佛。
With the body giving rise to sickness’ pain and suffering, fear and grief, scattered and confused without refuge, there should be direct mindfulness of Āmítuófó’s name.
念佛遇障时，更至心念佛。
至心念佛时，无关不能过。
When mindful of Āmítuófó’s name meeting any obstacle, be even more sincerely mindful of Āmítuófó’s name. When sincerely mindful of Āmítuófó’s name, no barrier is not able to be crossed.
