At any time we are completely naked before the Parent of compassion

“Apart from the Buddha saving me, ask no shinjin of your own.” Therefore, you don’t have to forcefully boast, “I have entrusted myself.” Hence, “I have heard it,” ”I have entrusted myself,” such minds of “entrusting” and “hearing” should leave no residual trace. This is what is meant by “at any time we are completely naked before the Parent of compassion.”

“The mind that hears,

Remembers

Are both carried away by Amida Buddha.

Completely naked, completely naked we are,

At any time

Before the Parent of compassion.”

In this way, we are able to be born in the Pure Land, aren’t we?

“For the Buddha-dharma, no matter how much that we hear 

Always we are babes before hearing.”
