『心偈』10

柳宗悦『心偈』

10「彌陀モ　六字ノ　捨艸ヤ」

Amitabha Buddha sells at a great sacrifice to six latters, also.

"Six letters" mean six letters, Namo Amitabha Buddha.

It is said "myogo."

Reciting this six letters is called "shomyo."

It is prepared the easy way of the Buddha to have fortune of the Buddha for lower classes.

It's a great way.

Everyone can recite Namo Amitabha Buddha by word of mouth.

Reciting this six letters is throwing yourself into the six letters.

Throwing yourself means getting rid of yourself.

You devote yourself to the six letters.

But it isn't the side of man.

To relieve the ordinary people by the six letters means the Buddha runs risk of hisself to the six letters, too.

The Buddha is throwing himself into the six letters.

The Buddha sells himself at a great sacrifice to six letters.

The Buddha give up himself to be going to save all the men.

It is  the six letters that the men and the Buddha throwing himself away and the place to meet one another.

The teaching of praying to Amitabha Buddha reminds us, if there isn't "the six letters," there aren't the men and The Buddha, too.
