『心偈』16

16「眞向ケヨト 云ヒ給フ」

             柳宗悦『心偈』

 

  マムケヨト イヒタマフ

 

The Buddha said Come face to face.

 

 

In Shin Buddhism People says Amida Tathagata to "omamukisama."

Because  Amida Tathagata stands right in front of us.

Amida Buddha also says us "Come face to face."

If you look right and left, what is the merit  to look at the truth.

A man who is worried about something doesn't stand right in front of us.

He can't stand face to face, he looks away or looks back.

But  he doesn't stand right in front of us in the least, how can he live?

All human lives must be "completion"and "specialization."

So He spent time  to neglect his duty regrettably, he couldn't continue to

think about it.

You had better go straight without hesitation.

No other behavior light up your mind  than standing face to face.

You like light, so you stands right in front of it.

Just like large-flowered sunflowers stand right in front of Sun.
