Buda Amitayus



Reverência aos Pontos Cardeais

“6 – Sariputra, assim como eu louvo a inconcebível virtude de Amitayus, assim fazem os Budas da direção oriental (Leste, onde nasce o sol); tão numerosos quanto as areias do (rio) Ganges, tais como o Buda Aksobhya, o Buda Meru-Dvaja, o Buda Mahameru, o Buda Meruprabhasa e o Buda Manju-svara. Enquanto moram nas suas próprias terras (planos invisíveis), eles estendem as suas longas e amplas línguas (energias abençoadas que emanam dos idiomas espirituais que eles falam), abarcando o universo com um bilhão de mundos. Pronuncie agora estas palavras de verdade:  os seres sensíveis devem aceitar este Sutra intitulado ‘Louvor à Inconcebível Virtude e Proteção de todos os Budas’.”

“7 – Sariputra, há na direção do sul, Budas tão numerosos como as areais do Ganges, tais como o Buda Candra-surya-pradiga, o Buda Yasah-prabha, o Buda Mararci-shanda,  o Buda Meru-pradipa e o Buda Ananta-virrya. Enquanto moram nas suas próprias terras, eles estendem suas longas e amplas línguas e abarcam com elas o universo com um bilhão de mundos, pronunciam estas palavras de verdade:  os seres sensíveis devem aceitar este Sutra  intitulado ‘Louvor à  Inconcebível Virtude e Proteção de todos os Budas’.”

“8 - Sariputra, há na direção ocidental (Oeste, onde o sol se põe), Budas tão numerosos quanto as areias do Ganges, tais como o Buda Amitayus, o Buda Amita-keku, o Buda amita-dvaja, o Buda Mahaprabha, o Buda Maha-prabhasa, o Buda Ratna-ketu e o BudaSudha-rasmi-prabhasa. Enquanto moram nas suas próprias terras, eles estendem as suas longas e amplas línguas abarcando um universo de um bilhão de mundos; pronunciem então essas palavras de verdade: os seres sensíveis devem aceitar este Sutra intitulado ‘Louvor à Inconcebível Virtude e Proteção de todos os Budas’.”

“9 – Sariputra, há na direção norte Budas tão numerosos quanto as areias do Ganges, tais como o Buda Arci-skandha, o Buda Vaisvanara-nighosa, o Buda Duspradharsa, o Buda Adithya-sambhava e o Buda Jalini-prabha. Enquanto moram nas suas próprias terras, eles estendem as suas longas e amplas línguas abarcando com elas um universo de um bilhão de mundos; pronunciem então estas palavras: os seres sensíveis devem aceitar este Sutra intitulado ‘Louvor à Inconcebível Virtude e Proteção de todos os Budas’.”

“10 – Sariputra, continua o Buda Sáquia Muni incansavelmente repetindo, ‘há na direção do nadir (centro da Terra) Budas tão numerosos quanto as areias do Ganges, tais como o Simha, o Buda Yasas, o Buda Yasah-prabhasa, o Buda Dharma, o Buda dharma-dvaja e o Buda Dharma-dhara. Enquanto moram nas suas próprias terras, eles estendem as suas longas e amplas línguas abarcando com elas um universo de um bilhão de mundos; pronunciem então estas palavras da verdade: os seres sensíveis devem aceitar este Sutra intitulado ‘Louvor à Inconcebível Virtude e Proteção de todos os Budas’.”

“11 – Sariputra, há no zênite (céu, firmamento) Budas tão numerosos quanto as areias do Ganges, tais como o Buda Brahma-ghosa, o Buda Naksatra-raja, o Buda Gandhottarna, o Buda Gandha-prabrasa, o Buda Maharci-skandhda, o Buda Ratina-prabhasa, o Buda Maharci-skandha, o Buda Ratina-kusuma-sampuspita-gatra, o Buda Salendra-raja, o Buda Ratnotpala-sri,  o Buda Shalendra-raja, o Buda Sarva-artha-sarsa e o Buda Sumere-kalpa. Enquanto moram nas suas próprias terras, eles estendem as suas longas e amplas línguas abarcando um universo com um bilhão de mundos; pronunciem, então, estas palavras de verdade: os seres sensíveis devem aceitar este Sutra intitulado ‘Louvor à Inconcebível Virtude e a Proteção de todos os Budas’.”

Comentários:

- esse texto sagrado está nas páginas 154 a168 do excelente livro “O caminho de Cada Um – o Budismo da Terra Pura”, de   Murillo Nunes de Azevedo, já falecido, um dos grandes divulgadores do Darma em terras brasileiras. Editora Bertrand Brasil, 1996.

- Só transcrevemos estes versículos que exemplificam bem a Reverência aos Pontos Cardeais, veja a quantidade de Budas que nos ajudam e protegem. É só o praticante recitar esta poderosa prece/oração/mantra: “Louvor à Inconcebível Virtude e Proteção de Todos os Budas”.

- Azevedo informa que o texto original deste fabuloso Sutra faz parte do Tripitaka Sânscrito e foi traduzido a primeira vez em 402, para o chinês, pelo grande mestre Kumarajiva.

- Também é conhecido como “Sutra a respeito do Buda Amitayus”.

- Cada um dos Budas citados protege um universo de um bilhão de mundos. São 42 nomes referidos. Multiplique, faça as contas...

- Há um outro Sutra no Mahayana Chinês que é conhecido como o “Sutra de 42 Partes”. Partes abençoadas do universo infinito, tanto quanto os Budas que são infinitos.
