Contemplation: Having Obtained the Eye of Wisdom

After reviewing the guidelines for the practice, take the following as your object of contemplation:
Having obtained the eye of wisdom,
I will remove the darkness of ignorance;
I will block all evil paths
And open the gate to the good realms.

When merits and virtues are perfected,
My majestic light will radiate in the ten directions,
Outshining the sun and moon
And surpassing the brilliance of the heavens.
Three Pure Land Sutras, p. 21 (from the Vows of Bhikshu Dharmakara, in the Larger Sutra of Amitayus)
