Even if we are born in a poor family, we are in a far better condition than hungry spirits. Even if our wishes are not fulfilled, our suffering cannot be compared with tortures of hell. For this reason, we should rejoice at having been born as humans. Even though the mind of faith is shallow, anyone who takes refuge in Amida will unfailingly attain birth, because the Original Vow is deep. For this reason, we should rejoice at having encountered the Original Vow.
Delusion is the nature of ordinary beings.
Apart from delusion, there is no mind in us. The Nembutsu that is uttered with the mind of delusion is like a lotus flower unstained by the muddy water. There should not be any doubt as to our attainment of birth.
