Salvation
無明長夜の燈炬なり
智眼くらしとかなしむな
生死大海の船筏なり
罪障おもしとなげかざれ
−−正像末和讃より
Jodo Shinshu's salvation is like a guiding light on a long dark night . A Jodo Shinshu follower need not grieve that he cannot see the Eye of Wisdom . Jodo Shinshu's salvation is a ship on the ocean of Life and Death . Thus there us no need to grieve over one's sins . (From Shouzoumatsu Wasan)
