Hi Dharma-friends! In this episode, we read five more verses of the Pure Land Hymns on the Right, Semblance, and Last Dharma Ages.  Shinran further explains his understanding of how only by completely relying (in Shinjin) on Amida's Vow to Liberate All can beings in this Last Dharma Age realize awakening.  It is Amida's directing of virtue for going forth from the Pure Land and returning that makes this possible.  How grateful we are! Next time we'll continue with five more verses by Shinran Shonin.  Until then, please be well!  For more Dharma content, please visit the American Buddhist Study Center's home page: ambuddhist.org With palms together, Gary
