We have been saying the nembutsu deliberately ...

We have been saying the nembutsu deliberately in order to acquire shinjin, until today.
We wish to attain birth with the power of saying the nembutsu.
To this day, to this moment,
We have been saying the nembutsu assiduously. 
Isn't it shallow?
Our father of compassion is right here and
that's my honourable shinjin.
Both words and thoughts perish. 
Together with Namo Amida Butsu 
We walk side by side.
