Recently, a reader wrote to me:
"We do many things at our temple, we meditate, do various practices, so we never become bored. Why don't you do the same to attract new members?"
In His Primal Vow Amida Buddha mentioned that we should do three things only and exclusively, "entrust yourself to me, say my Name, and wish to be born in my land". All these three are expressed in the Nembutsu of faith.
Its a pity you are bored with the Primal Vow, and that you and your temple sangha are not focused on what Amida asks you to do. If in the Primal Vow meditation was mentioned, then I would teach and practice meditation. But as only faith, nembutsu and wish to be born in the Pure Land are to be found there, I obey and limit myself to them. Please do the same if you wish to be born in
