Depressed Shin Buddhist

Depressed Shin Buddhist

Here I am
back ache
leg ache
head ache
daughter is ill
my heart aches

Depression
sadness
feels unstoppable
unbeatable

I am a Shin Buddhist
I am depressed
I am grateful because
Namu Amida Butsu
is right here with me
right here
right now
in the midst
of it all.........................



thank you, Amida!

  1. Dear Di...
    It's just completely normal to be depressed in this world of suffering and pain. I might be terribly wrong, but i feel it's just seeing life as it is what people call depression. Amida is there, always there as the only real remedy, hope and total trust.
    Namuamidabutsu, dear friend!
