Feelings
changeable as the weather.
Namo Amida Bu -
the silver lining
in every cloud.
Working and resting,
like a turning wheel.
Namo Amida Bu,
the hub,
is always reliable.
Life is long
Life is short
Namo Amida Bu.
The Dharma
is indestructible.
Gazing at the moon,
my heart is touched.
Namo Amida Bu -
without effort
it carries me everywhere.
Circumstances
cannot be relied upon.
Namo Amida Bu:
the grace of Tathagata
never fails.
Every insight,
is an offering.
Namo Amida Bu -
Buddha’s open hand
puts peace in my heart.
What riches!
What poverty!
Namo Amida Bu
is enough
for contentment.
So many truths,
so many lies -
Namo Amida Bu
alone
is real.
Reading the scriptures,
bowing and praying,
Namo Amida Bu
is the candle
that never falters.
Studying and learning,
contrition and reform;
Namo Amida Bu
does the trick
in an instant.
Sitting zazen,
offering the world,
Namo Amida Bu!
Body and mind
fall away.
Born with faith
I never forgot.
Namo Amida Bu
lit my way
home.
