In this episode Dayamati and I discuss Suzuki's essay 'The Myōkōnin' which is found in his Selected Works, Vol. 2. The myōkōnin is the saint of Shin Buddhism and in this essay Suzuki discusses two myōkōnin: first, Dōshū of Akao (d. 1516) and, second, Asahara Saichi (1850–1932). We discuss Dōshū’s Twenty-One Resolutions. In particular Dōshū was concerned with the notion of ichidaiji or the 'one great matter'. Afterwards we discuss Saichi's poems. Amongst many others we discuss the following: 
How happy I am!
Amida’s seal is stamped in my heart.
The seal called Namu-amida-butsu,
The seal of Oya-sama [the loving parent (JCD)],
His child has received,
And simply says, Namu-amida-butsu.
We use the poem to discuss the metaphor of a seal and what it might mean to have Amida's seal stamped on our hearts.
