Thank you, Revanth. Namo Amituofo... 合掌 With palms together -John p.s. See if you can find a pdf of this volume online. Perhaps I wll recite the gatha at the end, which is a different translation that when I did them awhile back. If you cannot, maybe Shaun can.

​@@namoamidabuts Thank you, John. I did a search but seems like this particular Dharma gem doesn't have a pdf copy on the internet that I can find. Will be glad to be of assistance in editing. And really hope that Shaun has a copy 🙏

[@namoamidabuts]

I will explore it with him. -John
