Facets of a Diamond - Blog

Every day at the end of my meditation I sing:

Thank you, thank you,
thank you, you all.

And all thanks to You,
You Above All.

But it’s really not me doing the singing, the thanking, rather it’s done through me, as guided, as Guided.

As Shinran, the founder of Shin Buddhism, taught: it is Amida Buddha invoking Herself – or not – with every nembutsu.
