Shoshinge Hymn of True Faith by Ven. Meru Po Sensei
Pages: 123 eBook size: 6 X 9 File size: 653 Kb
This book is like separate sips of spring-cool water, like soft-trod meditation steps beneath the branches of the Jewel-Tree’s shaded hues.
These poetic gems, awake, alive within the garden of Amida’s Western Paradise. Meru Po explodes the prison of the mind and gives us visions of the freedom, which is ours to claim, and does so with a poet’s brush.
I know no finer gift than this, these insights into Life and Light, unlimited.
- Shanon Taicho Sensei, Abbot, Hongaku Jodo
The poetically concise insights that form both his commentary to, and his meditational gems on, the Shoshinge, foundational thoughts of the Pure Land Patriarch Shonin, is a good example of what can happen when a person’s mind-focus shifts from delusional to clear mirror reflective activity. It shows that one’s prison is only as confining as the mind creating the confined condition. When one begins to cultivate the Mind of Emptiness, all boundaries cease to bind. Was it not Oscar Wilde who wrote that walls do not a prison make? Indeed, Inconceivable Light and Infinite Life know no walls.
