The Consolation of Amitabha Buddha with Satya Robyn

Inspired by the great Pure Land Buddhist teacher Shinran, Satya Robyn explores how embracing our limited nature as human beings can point us toward the infinite compassion of Amitabha Buddha. She invites us to recite the nembutsu, the core Pure Land practice, for a taste of Amitabha’s consolation…with a special guest appearance by her dog, Ralph!

Transcript: This is Shinran speaking about Amida Buddha, also known as Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha that we’re in relationship with as Pure Land Buddhists, or the Buddha of infinite light. We can see light as exemplifying compassion. We often say here in this temple that Amida accepts us just as we are, they’re the Buddha of all acceptance. When Shinran speaks about Amida, I love the feeling that I get from his words, which matches my own feeling of real loving relationships, something that’s true. Here’s the second quote: “The light of compassion illumines us from afar; Those beings it reaches, it is taught, Attain the joy of dharma, So take refuge in Amida, the great consolation.” And as I live in that quote, tears come to my eyes because it becomes real inside me. I have been lucky enough to have a taste of what Shinran’s speaking about. I particularly love that word “consolation.” Again, I don’t think it’s often used in Buddhist circles. But for me, spiritual life is about finding consolation. It’s about finding that steady place where we can be soothed and where we feel like we’re accepted in order to go forth and do the things we need to do in the world, face the things we need to face.
