Music and Lyrics by Richard St. Clair. Duration: 3 1/2 minutes. Oya-Sama means beloved parent, a term that Jodo Shinshu Buddhist faithful use to describe their personal relationship to the great savior Buddha, Amida. The words Namu Amida Butsu translate as Thank You, Amida Buddha and also as I take refuge in Amida Buddha. The MP3 Audio Clip is a computer-generated soundfile.

Lyrics:

NAMU AMIDA BUTSU, NAMU AMIDA BUTSU
I give thanks to Amida Buddha,
I give thanks to Amida Buddha,
Amida Buddha, my Oya-Sama,
beloved parent and my savior
rescuing me from many kalpas of evil karma.
By the power of His Universal Vow,
I am among the millions gifted
with this inconceivable Shinjin
and the assurance of Buddhahood
in His glorious Land of Peace and Bliss!
This realm of suffering
is a place of impermanence.
I wish to leave it
and go to Amida's Pure Land.
Amida will bring me there,
soon as I leave this body of skin and bones.
I am truly saved!
I give thanks to Amida Buddha, my savior!
NAMU AMIDA BUTSU.
