Shinran

-132- Based on Amida’s Vow to appear at the time of death,

Sakyamuni presented all the various good acts

In one scripture, the Contemplation Sutra,

To encourage those who perform meditative and non-meditative practices.

All the good acts and myriad practices,

Because they are performed with a sincere mind and aspiration,

Become, without exception, provisional good

That will lead to birth in the Pure Land.

(CWS, Hymns of the Pure Land, I, p. 342, #62-63)

Shinran

-133- It is by the power of Dharmakara’s vow

That we realize the nembutsu that is wisdom;

Were it not for the wisdom of shinjin,

How could we attain nirvana?
