From now on, I will be working on another book of Zuiken Sensei, namely The Sound of Ocean Waves of the Primal Vow 《本愿海涛音》. This book is a compilation of short passages that appear in the preface of the Horai Magazine. These passages to me are inspirational and profound. More like the Shinshu Dharma-Pada of Zuiken Sensei, these short passages serve as a good source of our Hearing-Shinjin (闻信). I have never bored of reading this book. Every time you read it you are like experiencing a new life. It helps clear our channels of faith. Sensei always wanted us to 'forget about yourself and your heads' and 'adore Amida Buddha - the unspeakable dharma!'.
But, bear with me for the translation, I need time and 'mood' to churn those passages out. Thanks for your patience too.
Namu Amida Butsu!
Sincerely in gassho,
Melvin
Thank you for your dilligence and effort to share these precious teachings.
ReplyDeleteI will read them to my mother who is in the final phase of her battle with cancer.
May it turn her mind further to the inconceivable source of blessings that is the Buddha of Boundless Light.
Namo Amitabha Buddha
