The Four Noble Truths from the Jodo Shinshu perspective

After manifesting the attainment of perfect Enlightenment, Shakyamuni Buddha spoke about the Four Noble Truths: 1. The Noble Truth of Suffering:“Birth is suffering, decay is suffering, disease is suffering, death is suffering, to be separated from the pleasant is suffering, not to get what one desires is suffering. In brief all the experiences made with the body and mind, which have craving as their base, a

Keep worldly affairs out of the temple

As you may probably know, in many Buddhist temples around the world, Jodo Shinshu or not, members organize parties with music, alcohol, and dancing. Some say it relaxes people and brings them together. I say it is a smart trick of internal maras (one's own blind passions and ignorance) and/or external maras or various evil spirits to make people forget the Dharma in the exact place where they have the chance to deepen its meaning, a subtle way of distracting them from the teaching and keeping them focused on their worldl

How to help friends and family create a connection with Amida Buddha

Question:“Sometimes, one may be concerned about friends and family, because they have chosen different religious ways, or decided to believe in nothing at all. Of course, they also think that their path is the correct one and even if this can change during a lifetime, they might never have access to Buddhism. If we try to bring them on the path, they might block this from the beginning. It is just too early for them from the karmic point of view. How can we work discreetly on them,

Unenlightened beings are not the same with Amida Buddha

Question: Recently a F.B. friend of mine has starting posting statements that "I and Amida are one and the same." This person is an avid reader of Ippen Shonen, the Hijiri, and has come to share many of the Zen / Pure Land views that Ippen taught concerning interconnection of all things. Personally I cannot agree with this line of thought as I see it as presumptuous, arrogant and quite possibly slanderous. Please give me your take on this line of thinking and tell me if you think it go

Don't do many things, just focus on the recquirements of the Primal Vow

Recently, a reader wrote to me: "We do many things at our temple, we meditate, do various practices, so we never become bored. Why don't you do the same to attract new members?" In His Primal Vow Amida Buddha mentioned that we should do three things only and exclusively, "entrust yourself to me, say my Name, and wish to be born in my land". All these three are expressed in the Nembutsu of faith.

A visitor from Northern Ireland to Amidaji

Today, Mr Iain Lee from Northern Ireland visited Amidaji temple. We made a service (Nembutsu with Amidakyo), and discussed the essentials of Jodo Shinshu Buddhist teaching. We'll keep in touch and see each other soon. As I clearly stated many times, Amidaji is an international temple, opened to anybody who wishes to learn the authentic (orthodox) Jodo Shin
