Grateful for the chance

I am grateful for the chance to share my thoughts about Amida.

Not wanting to cause harm..
Not wanting to cause grief..
I want to help...not sure if I can...

This robe I wear is merely a silk cocoon wrapped around a foolish worm that is being transformed by Amida.

Grateful for the chance
Grateful to Amida
Grateful

Name Amida Butsu

My faith.....

(in a dream....a few nights a go I tossed and turned with the following words running and running through my mind...I kept turning the words around and trying them all in different groupings.....I had to wake myself up to stop the "running running mind" of mine...I then took my phone from my bedside table and emailed myself the following words so I wouldn't forget..so I could share today...)




My faith
is based
on the belief
that my life
is an expression
of Amida's Vow..........
