The Tathagata of unhindered Light filling the ten quarters

O World-Honored One, with the mind that is single, I take refuge in the Tathagata of unhindered Light filling the ten quarters” (Namo Amida Butsu).

The Tathagata of unhindered light” is Namo Amida Butsu, “with the mind that is single, I take refuge” is also Namo Amida Butsu. Therefore, the Shonin says,

It cannot be grasped by the mind or by words,
So take refuge in the Honoured-one beyond conceptual understanding.”
