 | | Jodo Shinshu Buddhism teaches that faith in Amida Buddha cuts the bonds to our negative karma from the infinite past and into the infinite future. | | | Jodo Shinshu, the "True Pure Land" is a Japanese School of Buddhism which grew out of Pure Land school, and which emphasised faith in Amitabha Buddha above all other things. | | | Jodo Shinshu sees itself as having pared Buddhist practice down to the bare essentials: recitation of the Nembutsu: "Namo Amida Butsu", in order to cultivate faith in Amitabha's vow. |

| | For Jodo Shinshu followers, this mission was to awaken mankind to the Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha. | | | With the Jodo Shinshu emphasis on a communal gathering of priests and laymen, this led to a shrinkage of the Naijin and the enlarging of the Gejin area. | | | Unlike other Buddhist traditions, the Sangha in Jodo Shinshu refers to all Buddhists and not just to the order of monks or priests. |

| | Rather than formal seated meditation, the main practice of Jodo Shinshu is a sacred chant known as nembutsu: "Namu-Amida-Butsu" ("I entrust myself to the Buddha of Infinite Light and Life"). | | | This focus on gratitude toward all as essential to our awakening, and the ideal of equality of all beings without distinction, were powerful parts of Jodo Shinshu's appeal for me. Jodo Shinshu seems to lack the arrogance and self-centeredness I've encountered in other Buddhist traditions. | | | A major denomination of Pure Land Buddhism, and the first to actively spread to North America in the 1800s, Jodo Shinshu focuses on developing a mind of deep gratitude toward Amida and all things in our lives. |

Shinran whose childhood name was Matsuwakamaru was born near Kyotoas the eldest son of Hino Arinori. | | | It should be mentioned though that Shinran had no intention of founding a new sect or denomination, but his descendents eventually formed a Sangha after his death which in time became the largest Pure Land denomination, notably through the efforts of the eighth Monshu or Spiritual Head of the Tradition Rennyo (1415-1499). | | | All definitions are quoted from the glossary of "The Collected Works of SHINRAN" Volume II, Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha, Kyoto Shin Buddhism Translation Series, copyright 1977. |

| | A Primer of Shin Buddhism |
| | Shinran, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu school of Pure Land Buddhism, came to regard this attitude to the nembutsu as unsatisfactory and inconsistent with the intention of Amida Buddha's Primal Vow as he saw it as yet another form of 'self-power' along the lines practiced by the older schools. | | | So it is that the proximate focus for Shin Buddhists is nembutsu, the Name of the Buddha, Namu Amida Butsu, which means "I take refuge in Amida Buddha". | | | As the Name was considered to have this great power to effect total liberation from the snares of samsara, Pure Land adepts in both China and Japan would commit themselves to tens of thousands of recitations of nembutsu each day with a view to ensuring that their eventual salvation would be guaranteed. |
