『心偈』9続

柳宗悦『心偈』

 

Amitabha Buddha loves me, not because I have a fine character.

It's just the opposite.

 I am an ordinary people the very bottom, and deeply sinful indeed, so God has an eye on me.

I am not proud of the happiness that only I have.

In fact, Anyone can croon the poem.

Because we are all sinful.

Then Everyone are the lovers of God.

You should think I am the only man deeply sinful, so most especially I am the lover of the God.

Amitabha Buddha has an eye on just me whoever I am. 

I exist now, because I have a reason that I can't never leave my destiny.

Francis Thompson who is the Catholicism poet wrote poetry ”God is the lover with fear." I feel the same way.

You could affirm the truth clearly, you imagine the mother who has a kid with a disability has the very sympathy for him.
