The Land of Peace and Bliss:  
A Musical Mandala 
 
For Mezzo‐Soprano 
with Cello and Piano Accompaniment 
 
Music by Richard St. Clair  
(2005 ‐2009)  
thPoem by Vasubandhu ( 4  cent. India )
Translated by Hisao Inagaki

Verses from Vasubandhu’s Discourse on the Pure Land (Jodoron)  
Translated from the Chinese by Hisao Inagaki (Used with Permission)  
O World-Honored One, with singleness of mind, I Forever free from bodily and mental afflictions,
Take refuge in the Tathagata of Unhindered Light They always enjoy pleasure, without interruption.
Shining throughout the Ten Directions, In this realm of the Goodness of the Mahayana
And aspire to be born in the Land of Peace and Bliss. (1) [All beings are] equal, and not [even] the names of unworthy beings
are found there. (13)
Depending on the sutras' exposition
Of the manifestation of true merit, Women, deformed and deficient persons and
I compose verses of aspiration in condensed form, [Those having] the seeds of the Two Vehicles are not born here.
Thereby conforming to the Buddha Dharma. (2) Whatever aspirations sentient beings may have,
They will all be fulfilled. (14)
When I contemplate the nature of that Land,
I find that it surpasses all states of existence in the three worlds. For this reason I aspire to be born
It is ultimately like space, In Amida Buddha's Land.
Vast and without bounds. (3) [He is seated] on the pedestal of an excellent, pure lotus flower
Adorned with innumerable great treasures. (15)
Out of the Great Compassion inherent in the Right Path
And from the root of supramundane good has it arisen. His physical marks of excellence shine for one fathom;
It is completely radiant with pure light, His form is incomparably superior to that of any other beings.
Like a mirror or the sun or moon. (4) The wondrous voice of the Tathagata like that of Brahma
Is heard throughout the ten directions. (16)
It is composed of rare jewels,
And endowed with exquisite adornments. Like earth, water, fire, wind
Its pure and blazing light is brilliant And space, [he] has no discriminative thoughts.
And serene, illuminating the whole world. (5) Heavenly and human beings, unshakable [in their spiritual
attainments],
Jewelled ornaments, pliant and soft like grasses, Are born out of the ocean of pure wisdom. (17)
Bend to right and left. They produce delightful
Sensations in one who touches them, surpassing Like Sumeru, the king of mountains,
The sensations produced when kacilindika grass is stroked. (6) [Amida is] supreme, wonderful and unequaled.
Heavenly beings and valiant men
A myriad varieties of jewelled blossoms Worship, circumambulate round him and look up to him adoringly. (18)
Are scattered profusely among the ponds, streams, and springs.
When a soft breeze moves the flowers and leaves, When I observe the Buddha's Primal Vow-Power,
Reflections of light interweave and shimmer in all directions. (7) I find that those who meet with it do not pass by in vain.
They are enabled to gain quickly
The palaces and various towers The great sea of the treasure of merit. (19)
Command unobstructed views in the ten directions.
There are trees displaying many colors, The Land of Peace and Bliss is pure and serene;
All surrounded by railings of precious gems. (8) [The Buddha] always turns the undefiled wheel [of the Dharma].
Transformed Buddhas and Bodhisattvas [illumine the whole world]
Nets strung with innumerable jewels like the sun,
Hang across the sky. [While remaining motionless] like Mt. Sumeru. (20)
When bells of various kinds ring out,
They proclaim the message of the excellent Dharma. (9) The pure, glorious light [of the Bodhisattvas],
In a flash of thought and simultaneously,
Magnificent flowers and robes rain down, Illumines each and every Buddha's assembly
And numerous varieties of incense pervade everywhere. And gives benefit to multitudes of beings. (21)
The Buddha's wisdom is pure and brilliant like the sun;
It dispels the darkness of the world's ignorance. (10) They manifest heavenly musical instruments, flowers, robes,
Fine incense, and so forth, with which they worship the Buddhas;
The sacred name enlightens people far and wide; They praise and extol the merits of the Buddhas
It is subtle and wonderful and is heard everywhere in the ten Without discriminative thoughts. (22)
directions.
[The Land] is firmly upheld by Amida, If there is any world in the universe
The Enlightened One, the Dharma-King. (11) Without the treasure of merit of the Buddha Dharma,
I resolve to be born there
The hosts of sages in the likeness of pure flowers surrounding the And to preach the Dharma like a Buddha. (23)
Tathagata
Are born there, transformed from within the Flower of I have written this discourse and composed verses
Enlightenment. With the wish to see Amida Buddha
They enjoy the taste of the Buddhist Dharma, And, together with all sentient beings,
Taking meditation and Samadhi as food. (12) Be born in the Land of Peace and Bliss. (24)
