People want to "do" something to be enlightened.
People want to "do" good things to become better.
People want to sit in meditation for 30 minutes a day..then those same people feel bad about themselves if they don't.
What can I tell them?
I can tell them nothing.
I must keep it to myself, for there is nothing I can tell them that will change their mind.
They have to hear Amida's call for themselves.
They have to hear Amida say "come just as you are".
They have to understand's Amida's saving Vow.
Now I understand...
Now I understand, there is nothing I can do to save all beings...
Amida has done it all....
Namo Amida Butsu!
thank you,
Jishin
