Top of the lower section: Shakyamuni's preaching of the Amida Sutra in the Jeta Grove at Shravasti accompanied by lay-people, bodhisattvas, monks and deities. Before the Buddha on the left sits Shariputra, the chief in the audience. The Buddha keeps his right hand in the mudra of 'bestowing fearlessness' (abhayada-mudra) and his left hand in the mudra of 'granting wishes' (varada-mudra). In the four corners, above and below are groups of Buddhas, who praise the distinguished virtues of Amida.
Amida appears with a host of holy ones. Various birds sing with sweet sounds. Seven rows of balustrades and trees. One should aspire to birth in the Pure Land. The life-span of Amida and beings is infinite. Seven -jewelled ponds full of lotuses. The audience rejoices and departs. ( One meets sages of supreme virtue. Heavenly music plays and flowers shower.

Lower half of the lower section: Divided into nine sections, which describe prominent features of the contents of the sutra.
(1) Seven rows of trees partitioned by seven rows of balustrades. Each tree has seven layers of green leaves and is decorated with white nets.
(2) Lotuses of various colors grow in the pond; those of green, blue, red, yellow and white colors emit rays of the same colors. Water is supplied by a mani-gem attached to a beautiful stand.
(3) A stage connects to the main building by a bridge. Various musical instruments, including lute, harp, drum and flute, fly about in the sky, while red and green heavenly mandarava-flowers are showered.
(4) Birds: In the foreground there are two birds, a peacock and a white goose, and four birds are in flight; they are a kalavinka with the face of a heavenly maiden playing a flute, a two-headed jivamjivaka, a shari on the upper right-hand side, and a parrot on the lower left-hand. These birds are manifested by Amida so that their singing can proclaim the Dharma.
(5) Immeasurable life-span: Both Amida and those born in the Pure Land enjoy immeasurable life-span. Amida radiates numerous rays of light, while seated on a lotus-throne with his hands in the meditative mudra. Monks and a bodhisattva pay homage to him with joined hands.
(6) Meeting holy sages: The newly born devotees meet holy sages seated on lotus-flowers.
(7) Amida's welcome: According to the Amida Sutra,, those who concentrate on Amida's Name even for one to seven days will see Amida and a host of sages coming to welcome them at the hour of death. In this scene, however, the devotees see Amida and the sages while alive. This shows that they enjoy the benefit of welcoming and protecting at ordinary times. Amida sends forth rays of light from between his eye-brows, and one of the sages holds a lotus-seat for the devotee to sit on.
(8) Acts of merit:The sutra encourages acts of merit in order to attain birth in the Pure Land. Here these acts are depicted as giving alms to a monk, setting free a bird in captivity, and listening to a sermon. In the cloud above the house are good deities watching over the devotees; they also chase away evil spirits.
(9) End of the sutra: Shakyamuni is sitting behind an altar-table, flanked by bodhisattvas and monks. Shariputra is paying homage to him with joined hands. The bodhisattva who rides a lion is Manjushri, and the one who rides an elephant is Samantabhadra. This shows that after expounding the Amida Sutra Shakyamuni, who was a Nirmanakaya Buddha, has now returned to his original state of a Sambhogakaya. On the cloud behind the Buddha the audience is seen departing.
