WAY OUT WEST

Words and music by former Bhikshuni Heng Yin (Loni Baur)

Chorus:
Way out west, in Amitabha's country
Way out west, in Amitabha's land
Lotus-born folks, Buddhas soon will be
Since Amitabha took them by the hand.

Way out west, where the birds speak the Dharma
Way out west, 'cross the sea of pain
Amitabha's light will purify your karma
And all you gotta do is say his name.

Way out west, in Amitabha's country
Way out west, in Amitabha's land
Lotus-born folks, Buddhas soon will be
Since Amitabha took them by the hand.

Don't look to the past, it's over and done
Don't look to the future, it has not come
Be here in the present with his name in your mind
Amitabha's light makes everything work fine.

Way out west, in Amitabha's country
Way out west, in Amitabha's land
Lotus-born folks, Buddhas soon will be
Since Amitabha took them by the hand.

Lotus-born folks, Buddhas soon will be
Since Amitabha took them by the hand
Since Amitabha took them by the hand.
