Early on in my career, I felt like a superhero. Full of knowledge and ready to help all of the patients that would come by. As I matured, I began to have a different perspective. I have learned that often, I gain as much from my patients as I am able to help them. Through my patients, I am often reminded of the teachings of Buddhism.

“Namoamidabutsu” is much like the phrase “I love you” which also communicates a state of mind. It is both an emotion and an experience. It has an overwhelming effect on both the speaker and the listener. It acknowledges a shared reality between two people. As does “Namoamidabutsu” between the speaker and reality itself. An oral tradition that dates all the way back to the Buddha’s India.
