Point of Interest Ahead

While driving along the highway today, I saw a road sign "Point of Interest Ahead".  I wondered what "point of interest" I might be willing to stop the car, park, get out and look.  It was a beautiful waterfall.  I would have gone about my day and not taken the time to see the beauty had it not been for the road sign.

Spiritually, every moment in our lives as a Shin Buddhist has the sign "point of interest ahead" posted right before our eyes.  Our "point of interest ahead" is the moment of Shinjin!  Do you see it?  Do you hear Amida Buddha calling?  Have you settled your heart in the matter of living a life in the Nembutsu?  

It is time to wake up, see the sign...stop the car, park, get out and look at all you have to be grateful for in life.  Take your life in the Nembutsu seriously...it's a matter of life and death...it's a matter of utmost importance.  Never forget...never forget....Namo Amida Butsu!

thank you,

Jishin
