Pointlessly The days and months go by, yet At year’s twilight The Buddhas’ names I hear with joy! |

The Names of the Buddhas
年のうちに積もれる罪も消えぬらむ三世の仏の御名を唱へて
| toshi no uchi ni tsumoreru tsumi mo kienuramu miyo no hotoke no mina o tonaete |
Within the year Our accumulated sins, too, Seem to disappear At the three worlds’ Buddhas’ Names recitation! |
