By calling to Amida as He simultaneously calls to her, the devotee consistently affirms one's gratitude through the Name-that-calls.
With consistent affirmation, the Name-that-calls helps her uncover the precious treasure known as Buddha Nature.
Uncovering Buddha Nature, the devotee realizes that she is a sentient being, subject to the limits of existence.
Knowing these limits helps the devotee to devote herself to the Buddha.
In devoting herself to the Buddha, she deepens her faith in Him, His teachings, and the Buddhist community.
In deepening her faith, she continues her affirmation through gratitude to Amida.
This affirmation through gratitude to Amida Buddha is called Buddha Remembrance
Buddha Remembrance helps the devotee to listen with her heartmind.
Listening with her heartmind, she is able to hear Amida Buddha calling, and simultaneously call to Him.
