Coming back to the Primal Vow
After several tens of years—
Feeling settled after
Having met the compassionate Parent.
Without
feeling content with this one Primal Vow-power, you will take any poisons and medicines that come along, helter-skelter. Good as well as evil religions,
you ‘eat’ them higgledy-piggledy, as though they would do you good after ‘eating’
them. Whatever comes from the self-power field of bombu cannot avail themselves of birth in the true and real Fulfilled Land.
Shinjin is
not to be acquired. We just look up to the inconceivable Buddha-wisdom as
inconceivable; we accept it with reverence unceasingly, to the last. Once we
entrust in the Buddha-wisdom, it immediately fills our body and mind. Once we
entrust in and accept the Name (Namo Amida Butsu), the virtue of the Name
naturally becomes ours; and we become the master of Namo Amida Butsu and are
born there [in the Pure Land]. This inconceivability we term ‘Buddha-Dharma’.
