南無阿弥陀仏
Bud...The Amida Prayer, Namu Amida Butsu <br /><br /> 南無阿弥陀仏 <br /><br />Buddha Amitabha vowed to save all beings, even those who have committed serious transgressions. This vow prompted Saint Shinran, the founder of the True Pure Land school of Buddhism, to write, <br />"A good person will be reborm; how much more so the evil person." <br />This belief in the power of Amitabha to save every person, no matter what their faults, gave rise to the sects of the Pure Land and True Pure Land and to the pratice of nembutsu prayer, the chanting of the sentence, <br />"Namu Amida Butsu," "I venerate Amida Buddha," <br />as a way to achieve salvation. <br /><br />This is on of the prayers that appears in various versions in many haiku of Issa, who was a member of the Pure Land Sect. His trust in Amida Buddha was great. <br /><br />More is here in my BLOG. <br />I hope it helps you to understand many haiku of Issa. <br />http://haikutopics.blogspot.com/2006/11/namu-amida-butsu.html <br /><br />GabiGabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192890093984872273.post-68513115043019603072009-10-06T11:34:16.536+09:002009-10-06T11:34:16.536+09:00This is lovely...I have not yet seen a bilingual h...This is lovely...I have not yet seen a bilingual haiku.
