Unit 109

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’.
