Amida's Primal Vow Accords With The Nature Of Beings

Amida Buddha has tailored the 'honorable clothing of Namo Amida Butsu' for me. He then put it on me and says, "Son, your 'honorable clothing of Namo Amida Butsu' has been put on and you shall be ready for birth." Amida has tailored the 'honorable clothing of Namo Amida Butsu' for every one of us; how unthankful and shameful we are!

Note: The explanation above concerns a verse from Shoshinge that Amida's Primal Vow ACCORDS WITH THE NATURE OF BEINGS.
"The masters of India in the west, who explained the teaching in treatises,
And the eminent monks of China and Japan,
Clarified the Great Sage's true intent in appearing in the world,
And revealed that Amida's Primal Vow accords with the nature of beings."
Also, in Anjin Ketsujo Sho, it's quoted as saying, "When he fulfilled the Vow and Practice for the sake of each and every sentient being, his Enlightenment was accomplished and the birth of ordinary people in the Pure Land was achieved."
