No organization or branch has any monopoly on the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist teaching. There are already ten old branches of Jodo Shinshu since Shinran Shonin plus Amidaji which is the newest. There are probably other branches or groups (old and new) in Japan that I do not know about and also various organizations that they claim they represent Jodo Shinshu. I have no idea what

This is a very useful video teaching by Shaku Myoshin, lay member of Amidaji from UK. In this video he talks about the clear difference between the character of Amida Buddha and "God". He discusses how samsaric this "god" seems to be in character and behavior.

The best way to solve your inner problems is not to analyze, trying to find solutions or applying this or that strategy, but to let them go, abandon them, don't focus on them, ignore them and think to them as dream-like and nonexistent.
