No.7 On the Original Prayer

Amida Buddha’s Original Prayer works on unceasingly. Yet it is said that the Original Prayer has already been fulfilled.

The fulfillment of the Original Prayer refers to the coming to pass of the Prayer’s intent. And the Prayer’s intent is quite simply that we should become aware of what has been done for us.

阿弥陀佛の本願は完結しない。
しかし本願成就ということがある。本願成就とは、所詮が顕れること。所詮とは、「ごおん」ということに尽きる。
