Why now?

Why Amida now?
Because I am not capable of any true goodness...my ego lurks in every action...I am only human...and that is OK!  I am embraced by Amida just AS I AM - RIGHT NOW!

Why the Nembutsu now?
Because I am not capable of finding the right words to express my deepest thanks to the embrace of Amida's Vow.  The Nembutsu is not mine to say.  The Nembutsu is a gift that I have not earned, but have had bestowed upon me by the greatest compassionate and wise Buddha, Amida.  Namu Amida Butsu is a song of gratefulness that my heart sings.

Why now?
Now is all I have..I don't want to waste a moment...Namu Amida Butsu is this moment's greatest gift.

Namu Amida Butsu















thank you,
