Wonderful feeling
Sweeping through my tired body -
Amida’s Sunshine!
Of one mind with Amida -
That’s me, walking home
This autumn evening.
Uttering his name but once,
We earn ourselves
A birth in the Pure Land.
My Nembutsu became stronger
When I started
To sing it out loud.
Do what you have to.
Amida will look after
You and the result.
I can do no wrong
In Amida’s eyes.
No great effort is required.
The only sound in my house today
Was the sound
Of my nembutsu.
Amida gives me a home
To be happy in
And a lovely wife.
Without knowing why or what,
I’m constantly
Thinking of Amida.
Your voice and Amida’s voice
Are one voice
Namu Amida Butsu.
