Nothing But Springboards

This life, this suffering, this Samsara, is nothing
but a springboard
to Pureland.

Pureland is nothing
but a springboard
to Bodhisattvahood.

Bodhisattvahood is nothing
but a springboard
to Buddhahood.

Buddhahood is nothing
but a springboard
to [re-manifestation of] Bodhisattvahood [out of endless compassion].
