Absolute Best Thing
Since you cannot do absolutely nothing,
and have to do something,
you might as well do the absolute best thing,
by being mindful of the absolute best,
a Buddha who represents all Buddhas —
Āmítuófó, whose meritorious virtues can awaken yours.
Incline Well
Since we tend to
have that inclined to,
knowingly or not,
we might as well
mindfully be inclined
to the best direction.
Never Turn Away
The Buddhas are like mothers
who will never turn their backs
to sentient beings,
who are like their children,
even if they turn their backs to them.
Ultimate Bliss
Since cycles of pain and pleasure
are ultimately pointless,
the ultimately blissful goal
is to transcend both.
Stonepeace
One Best Thought
Know what is that
one best thought
that represents
all good thoughts.
Existential Forgetfulness
Even before being reborn, the unmindful have already forgotten much learnt in this life, also forgetting that they will forget everything when reborn, if they do not reach Pure Land, to progress towards Buddhahood seamlessly.
Swiftness As Skilfulness
The most skilful
are also the most swift.
