My Operafaith and the meaning of life

ha - such a grand title for this blog post - Faith and the Meaning of Life according to the greatest fool ever to live in Narborough in the 21st century. From a rather ignorant foolish being I admit that I have no authority to be writing about the meaning of life - and I'm not really, when it comes down to it but sort of am at the same time. Whether there is meaning or not is something that remains a mystery to me and yet there are some episodes or periods in one's life when meaning abounds and all feels purposeful and profound.
For me and others here at Amida, life is more meaningful with faith in Amida. And faith in the practice of the Nembutsu gives life a new meaning and understanding. A simple faith that enables us to experience Dukkha and affliction without betraying our own principles and acting in ways that we would later regret but rather supports us to live a life of no regret.
