Leaving everything to Amida

Sunday, February 10, 2013


Hands in gassho
Namu Amida Butsu in my heart and mind
Juzu on my wrist
Altar in front of me
Amida all around me
Dharma friends sitting next to me
Feeling unworthy of the robes
Foolish am I
My heart is grateful
My mind is small
Tears stain my sleeve
Leaving everything to Amida
I feel Amida's light shining bright
My darkness lifts
and my heart is free
Namu Amida Butsu
Namu Amida Butsu
Namu Amida Butsu
Leaving everything to Amida
is my only hope
Here I am, Amida....here I am!

Thank you,
Jishin
