Lyrics

One Dead Souls Hear Me, Sacrifice in the home to ask for money, their own bitter money can't be taken away, children and grandchildren to send you the true scripture road fee.

The second sends the spirit of the dead to leave early, talking to himself in his heart, gold into the coffin to return to the homeland, as soon as possible to the Golden Mountain to see the World Honored One.

Thirdly, I will send the dead on their way. I will pray and urge them to go up to the next level, and they should go up to the next level.

Fourth, send the dead to the high bridge, you have to go up one step at a time, three passes and nine kowtows and interrogation, just say I am a Hua Hui person.

Five send the dead from the free, early to the west a road, the corners should be stored carefully, on the boat and off the shore station smooth.

Sixth, send the dead to the west, the western road is bright, both sides of the trench river green water, Bodhi road put proud light.

Seven sends the dead to the clouds, the clouds are all cultivators, all go to Anyang Extreme Paradise, saying that it is a spiritual mountain close to the people.

Eight sends the dead to Anyang, which is a good place everywhere, with all kinds of peaches and fruits, and peonies and lotus flowers and begonias.

Nine, I'll send the dead to my hometown, where there are tall buildings, high buildings against short houses, and yellow flags fluttering in honor of the sun.

10The dead are sent to the palace of treasures, where two lotus flowers bloom together, and long streamers and precious lids serve the dead, and it is you who have practiced to see the Buddha.
