YOU ARE RIGHT JUST AS YOU ARE

 
 You are right just as you are . . . 

your face,
your body,


your name.

Your social position,

wealth, parents, children
daughter-in-law, and even grandchildren
are just right for you.

 Your happiness and unhappiness,

joy and sorrow,
are just right for you.

Your life has been neither good nor bad . . . 

It has been just right for you.

Whether you go the Pure Land,

or fall into hell,
that place is best suited for you.

Don't think highly of yourself,

but don't belittle yourself either . . .

There is neither above or below . . .

even at the time and place of your death,
is just right for you.

How an it not be just right

when lived in the world of naturalness,
the world of Nembutsu. . .?
