           柳宗悦『心偈』

 

 

Six latters, Namo Amitabha Buddha is throwing myself away.

 

What is speaking out of Namo Amitabha Buddha?

We can't say it is invocation Namu Amida Butsu invoking the blessing for something or seeking to get rewards.

Invocation Namu Amida Butsu is throwing yourself away.

”Six letters, six letters” are places to throw rubbish.

To live in invocation Namu Amida Butsu is using up yourself in six letters.

Without this there is no way to live ourselves.

What is the ingestion of Amitabha?

It is received to throwing away ourselves.

Invocation Namu Amida Butsu shouldn't remain yourselves.

Gratitude of invocation Namu Amida Butsu is that Amitabha gives us  places to throw rubbish.

The ancients praise ”Baby Nembutsu" and explain ”kara Nembutsu" are both reverence of invocation Namu Amida Butsu throwing ourselves.
