Please listen.

I want to tell you something.

Please listen.

This is it.

This is all that there is.

This one life,

this one breath,

this one beat of your heart.

In this moment, this is all you have.

I want to tell you something.

Please listen.

Amida is here.

Always here with you.

In this moment

and every moment you have

you are embraced by

Compassion and Wisdom.

This one life, is your life in the Nembutsu.

This one breath can say "Namo Amida Butsu".

This one beat of your heart,

is the sound of Amida

within you.

Please listen.

This is it....................

Namo Amida Bustu

Thank you,

Jishin
