Hearing, that is, Entrusting

Mon soku shin; hearing, that is, entrusting.
The call of Amida Buddha of "Namo Amida Butsu" "to you" is reverberating in the ten quarters, arises from the 17th Vow. (Great Practice)
We realize shinjin through the 18th Vow, manifested in us as "having heard His Name, rejoice in faith". (Great Faith)
We burst out the nembutsu even once on realizing shinjin and this is a ho-on nembutsu, an expression of gratitude and also a praise given to the inconceivable Buddha wisdom being "unfathomable!" that I am emancipated "just as I am." How ungrateful I am!
