Gain the way and let the light shine in your life. Amitayus Sutra 28
”To receive Dharma, to receive the teaching means that you will also receive the responsibility to let others receive the teachings and be in the state of peace or whatever. Whatever you are wishing for yourself you have to realize that you have the responsibility to let others be in the meditative state, or peace, happiness or whatever.
Otherwise you will be just a consumer of the spiritual world. If you say “gain the way” it means that you are creating a way also for other people to receive the merit of the Dharma or teachings.
For example the poem of Saint Honen “The Light of the moon is everywhere, however is only reflected to the heart of the person who recognizes”. To walk away you need a light and the light will be emanating for those who walk the way, who walks it means “to gain the way” who gains the way it means sharing all the merit of the teachings.”
