	Jodo Shinshu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jodo Shinshu is not the first school of Buddhism to practice the nembutsu but it is seen in a new light.

	Reveiw of Books by James C Dobbins
		The edifice of institutional Jodo Shinshu presents itself to those newly encountering it, and perhaps also to its Japanese followers as a monolith of doctrinal and liturgical/practical givens.
		'Jodo Shinshu' is a worthwhile and well written book, one that I wish I had read years ago and I must add my thanks to the University of Hawai'i Press for bringing out a well produced and affordable paperback edition.
		The study of the life and times of Shinran and his successors is vitally interesting to all who follow the Jodo Shinshu way, but it is each individual's attainment of true entrusting that really matters, and that does not depend on any special cultural or historical understanding.

		In May 2005, the Buddhist Churches of America held a ground-breaking ceremony for their new $14 million Jodo Shinshu Center, scheduled to open in Summer 2006 in Berkeley, California, and destined to be a major center for Jodo Shinshu learning in America.
		Jodo Shinshu was founded approximately 700 years ago by Shinran Shonin, a 13th century Japanese priest.
		One reason is that Japanese American communities, which Jodo Shinshu temples originally were centered around, have been steadily shrinking due to factors such as intermarriage and the lessening ties to Japanese culture amongst younger generations.

	About Jodo Shinshu
		The Jodo Shinshu school of Buddhism was founded by Shinran, a monk who lived in Japan in the 13th century.
		Jodo Shinshu means "true essence of Pure Land Buddhism" (or, literally: Jodo, meaning Pure Land or realm; Shin, meaning True; and Shu, meaning religion).
		Jodo Shinshu became the most popular of several Pure Land sects in Japan that emerged during that country's Kamakura period (1185-1333).

	The Jodo Shinshu Ritual and Dharma School
		For example, it becomes possible to surmise that the musical nature of the Jodo Shinshu ritual service--which is held in praise of the virtues of Amida Buddha--developed in response to the attributes of Amida Buddha as the Buddha of infinite light (spatial) and infinite life (temporal).
		The doctrine of Jodo Shinshu, which is also manifested in its ritual service, helps to provide the foundation to promote such emotions as introspection, gratitude, and appreciation.
		Although the seven points presented by the "pop-psychology" article were meant as guidelines to promote the cognitive development of young children, because the Jodo Shinshu ritual has several of these elements "built in," the importance of the ritual service as a means of Jodo Shinshu Buddhist education cannot be overlooked.

	Shinran And Jodo Shinshu (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jodo Shinshu means 'the true essence of the Pure Land teaching'; originally it is not the name of the sect.
		His Nembutsu teaching spread far and wide, and was inherited by Honen (1133-1212) of Japan, who founded the Jodo sect based on the teaching that the exclusive practice of the Nembutsu alone is the sufficient cause for birth in the Pure Land.
		According to the government survey in 1987, the number of the temples of Pure Land Buddhism was 30,368, and that of its followers was 20,446,912, which was nearly a quarter of the total population of Buddhists in Japan.

	KtB - Fear of Falling
		Jodo Shinshu is an 800-year-old lineage that stresses sincerity, humility, naturalness, and gratitude as the keys to living an authentic life.
		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").
		But in Jodo Shinshu there are no spiritual elites, just fellow practitioners, all equal in the embrace of Amida's compassion and wisdom.

		I see, in Jodo Shinshu our training for Tokudo ordination has to be completed at Nishiyama Betsuin here in Kyoto, and the process is the same for those from overseas.
		Jodo Shu is part of the Pure Land mainstream meaning you could easily worship and with a Chinese or Vietnamese pure lander and reading their books, like the YMBA publishes you have a common vocabulary.
		Jodo Shinshu seems to have more in common with Zen, I thought Suzuki's book and reading Tannisho explained it best, it's a radical letting go and a very profound practice.

	The Future of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in America: "Why Shinshu?"
		To achieve this is to attain a kind of rebirth...Kill the ignorance and be reborn in the truth.
		The second critical point I want to clarify is, although Jodo Shinshu first appears to be preoccupied with identifying the self as evil, it does not lead one to a guilt laden, depressed state of mind.
		Jodo Shinshu is just the ticket to fix all the evils and problems out there," we must remember that the living tradition of Jodo Shinshu--the process of self-examination--is really challenging us to awaken to our true selves, not someone else's.

	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> Jodo Shinshu (japanese Buddhism)
		Salvation in Jodo Shinshu is through the grace of Amida Buddha; thus it is known as "salvation through absolute Other Power".
		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.
		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.
