🙏【第十八願】
設我得佛，十方眾生，至心信樂，欲生我國，乃至十念，若不生者，不取正覺。唯除五逆，誹謗正法。


🙏【The 18th Vow of Amitabha Buddha】

If, when I achieve Buddhahood, 
Sentient beings of the ten directions 
Who sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me, 
Wish to be reborn in my land and recite my name, 
Even ten times, should fail to be born there, 
May I not attain perfect enlightenment. 
Excepted are those who commit the five gravest transgressions 
or slander the correct Dharma.


🙏【善導大師四十八字釋】

若我成佛，十方眾生，稱我名號，下至十聲，若不生者，不取正覺；
彼佛今現，在世成佛，當知本誓，重願不虛，眾生稱念，必得往生。

🙏【Master Shandao‘s 48-word Explanation of the 18th Vow】

If, when I achieve Buddhahood, 
Sentient beings of the ten directions 
Who wish to be reborn in my land and recite my name, even ten times, 
should fail to be born there 
Relying on the power of my Vow, 
May I not attain perfect enlightenment.

Today Amitabha is before us, 
Having achieved Buddhahood. 
We should know that his Fundamental Vow 
Has been unequivocally fulfilled. 
If sentient beings recite his name, 
They will certainly be reborn 
In the Land of Bliss.
