This 9-minute composition, scored for mixed voices and piano, uses only one 7-syllable chant in the Pure Land Buddhist tradition, "Namu Amida Butsu." The text of this music is a Jodo Shinshu chant of faith and thanksgiving to the great Savior, Amida Buddha.

The translation of "Namu Amida Butsu" is twofold: "I entrust myself to Amida Buddha" and "I give thanks to Amida Buddha."

The chant is recited by millions of Jodo Shinshu Buddhists worldwide.
