The experience of authentic SHINJIN is the gift of Amida Buddha to those who listen deeply to the True Teaching of Shinran Shonin. It is without parallel in all of Buddhism.
Dharma Master Shinran calls it INCONCEIVABLE.
Here is the testimony of a man who has been given the gift of SHINJIN - a man of the very same SHINJIN as Shinran himself. (more…)
Everything in the dharma teaching Shinran propagated for his entire life springs from something he heard about but never saw personally - something that occurred in one unequaled moment in space and time.
What moment was that? It was the moment when Shakyamuni Buddha shifted from one mode of being into another.
If you lack a strong background in Buddhist teaching, a bit of explanation is in order. (more…)
Dear Mr Kobai -
I would like to asked you some input about the disscusion I’ve been having with my friends about the teachings of Nichiren.
They tell me that I am following a provisional Buddhism (Jodo-Shinshu), and not following the lotus sutra which Nichiren said that is the right path (Dharma) for the Mappo time.
Please can you help?
in gassho with Respect and Makoto.
Sebastian. (more…)
