This version of what is sometimes called 'The Creed' or 'The Affirmation' is the one used by Rev. Jack Austin in the days of the Shin Buddhist Association. Jack called it The Daily Dedication and recommended reciting it every day as part of our daily practice.

I affirm my faith in Amida Buddha's Infinite Wisdom and Boundless Compassion. Reciting his Sacred name, I shall live With strength and serenity. I look towards Amida's Guiding Light. As I reflect on my imperfect self, I will Live with gratitude for His Perfect Compassion Which surrounds me always. I follow the teaching of the Dharma! Discerning the Right path I resolve to spread This True Teaching. I rejoice in the Wisdom and Compassion of the Buddha. I will respect and help others, And do my best for the welfare of humankind, And all living beings.
