Ordinary Human Being ( bombu)
無駄と知りつつ、苦しいときに、神頼みしたくなる、弱い弱い人間、迷いの多い凡夫、であることに気付かしてもらうのが浄土真宗の信仰の始まりです。
Although knowing it is futile, human beings tend to pray to God in times of suffering. . It is when one realizes that he is only an extremely weak human being , a disillusioned ordinary person. . . it is at this point that faith in Jodo Shinshu begins.
