He does home repairs, and works weekends. As a master-certified mechanic, he’ll walk you through how it works, and turn off the heat for you. Sometimes he’ll bring along his trainees, Kannon (Guan-yin) and Seishi too." Brilliant! Totally brilliant! Amida's call-out mechanical services and his assistants too! Brilliant! Thank you for a great read Gerald! Kwan Seum Bosal!

And as usual I feel myself drawn to a solution somewhere in between Esoteric and Pure Land.
