Prologue 97
The Original Vow of ‘if they should not certainly be born’
The all consummated six-character Name equals Perfect Enlightenment
The radiance of the Vow-Power embraces and does not forsake
me
I make my way on the Great Way feeling so free and happy
Attaining birth is the
responsibility of Nyorai (Amida Budda).
Namu-amida-butsu, which is ‘the consummated fruition of
enlightenment, the accomplishment of the self-benefiting and benefiting others’,
manifesting as the command of ‘with right-mindedness, come at once!’, penetrates
deeply into my body and provokes the feeling of joy of dharma, which awakens to
the unsurpassed absolute faith.
Shinjin is ‘Namu-amida-butsu’; is
the ‘beckoning echoes’.
Attaining birth is a matter for Nyorai,
be sure not to be a busybody, be aware of a bombu’s capacity.
Be a foolish self and be
simple-minded, then birth is easy.
