Namo Ami Da Butsu

Amida Buddha calls "Leave it
My bonno and Buddha's enlightenment is one and same
As Buddha calls "I will save you as you are"
Receive with gratitude
Surrender myself, as I am
Saved to Jodo
Nembutsu of our gratitude to Buddha
This is thanks to the our founder Shinran Shonin and the subsequent head priests who passed on the Teachings
To become one who live with
Gradually let go of our fixati
Be grateful for the lives we are given
Don't let greed and anger carr
Placid face, gentle words
Share joys and sadness
And live each day fully

On the 16th May 2023, at the Memorial Service for the anniversary of Shinran Shonin's death, the head priest of Kyoto West Hongwanji, the headquarters of Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha, gave a service called Goshosoku.
In the Goshosoku, the new interpretation of the vital Teaching of Buddha that should be passed down through the generations was released.
Let us all read it.
