Look don't see, listen don't hear

Look don't see, listen don't hear...

I read these words tonight by author Lee Childs.

Look
Don't just see

Look deeply, engage, examine, explore your life in relationship to the world around you...
Look deeply and see how compassion and wisdom are a part of your life in each moment..
Don't "just see"...look, engage, question, embrace your life in the Nembutsu

Listen deeply, listen to the sound of compassion and wisdom in your life...what does that truly sound like? Listen to the sound of your own voice as you speak to others...as you speak to yourself...do you hear words of care and concern? Do you hear words of hatred and negativity? Do you hear Amida's voice speaking to your heart? Listen listen listen..don't "just hear"...listen, learn, respond with gratefulness!

Namo Amida Butsu!





Thank you,
Jishin
