About the 48 wishes of Amida Nyorai

this is ○○wow. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your support.
I heard it from a lucky person, and it came to me when there was something called Amida Buddha's 48 Wishes.
It's a number like today's popular idol, so I was curious and looked it up,
Should I call it the center's wish?
It seems that Honen of the Jodo sect said that the 18th petition was the most important, but I heard that it was a part that was added with parts not found in the original Indian text.
It's a story I've heard too, so I don't know the details,
If this is true, how should we take this??

All the monks, please.

For me,

It doesn't matter if it is a part written in addition to the original Indian text.

In the first place, there are no sutras written by Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, or anything handwritten by the Buddha.

This is because the disciples who memorized the Buddha's sermons said “this is what I heard” and “I heard it like this” after the Buddha passed away. That's because it was the sutras that were written down in order to leave teachings while saying that.

Also, the sutra in which the story of Amida was explained is said to be a sutra born about 500 years after the Buddha passed away.

That's why
“The teachings of the Pure Land are not Buddhism”
There are also people who say that.

However, I
I want to say, “Buddhism is not an academic discipline.”

From an academic point of view, the Buddha's teaching is that sutras were written by his disciples after all, and if they are not handwritten, the Buddha's true intentions may not be conveyed. Or, was there a Buddha in the first place? Or, you can doubt as much as you want, and argue as much as you want.

But it's not religion.
It's not faith.

It's probably Buddhism from an academic standpoint.

That is why science has advanced, and no matter how much verification is carried out, even the actual existence of the Buddha will not be able to be proven by those who did not live in India at that time.

If you doubt it, if you think academically, you have to doubt it from a place like this.
How sad is modern people?

The categories we don't understand, no, we actually don't understand any truth or truth. We are ignorant and foolish.
We honestly felt like babies, went back to being alone,
Just Buddha, Amida, Kannon, Yakushi,
Believing and looking up is faith.

Do you think of Buddhism as a discipline
Are you going to teach me and trust me?

I think there's a big difference.

Buddha is not someone else's problem

Akashiya Hirame

My name is Shakkeishin.

I was able to take a look.

We see the world with our own eyes.

My eyes can be said to be my values and my sense of sense.
My eyes are lost.
A lost eye is sowing the seeds of suffering.

There isn't enough paper, so if you don't mind this line again, please ask any new questions.

If a baby cries at night in a dark room, how will the mother treat her?

Please sit here and explain why you're crying.
Would you say it like this?

what happened? I wonder if I was hungry, was it hot, was it hard to sleep? is it pee? Do you have a stomach ache? I think they wipe away the sweat and call for OK, and pat them here and there to give me breastfeeding.

The first thing that breaks a baby's darkness is voice.
what happened? It's my mom.
That voice overcomes the baby's anxiety.

Also, does it hurt here? Are you hungry? and this, and so many ways to help,
Sometimes, in the words of a baby, they even come up to the baby and reach out to them.
I won't stop crying over and over again until I stop crying.
Constantly, never leave, never let go.

The figure for breaking through my darkness is Amida Nyorai.
Forty-eight times, does this hurt? does it hurt over there? It looks like they reached out to me saying it's okay, it's okay.

It is the root of my lament and the way to overcome ignorance, and it is finished in the name of Namu Amida Buddha, and it comes to my mouth as the voice of nembutsu.

The Nembutsu of Namu Amida Buddha is a voice that breaks through darkness.
This is called the 18th wish.
The ace number 18 in Ohako and baseball comes from here.

Honen-sama is the founder of Nembutsu.
As an aside, in times like Ganso ○○ ramen, the originator comes from Honen's title of Daishi called Ganso Daishi.

At all, as Yuisho-ji says, faith is not logical.
If I can't be saved from the bottom of my heart, it's the mochi I drew in the picture.
It is important to clear your mind of doubt and have a heart to sincerely worship and look up.

Honen-sama, a member of the Jodo sect became a fool and passed away.
They will tell me that.

When Amida's unwavering light of wisdom makes my foolishness known,
I am delighted every day to hear that I am blessed with a sense of joy that looks up to the certainty of Amida's work.

Believing is written when people say it.

I am a believer, and while academic refinement is important, I basically believe in the existence of Amida and her salvation.

In addition to believing what a good person says, that Shinran simply does nembutsu and is supported by Mida, there is no other detail. Shoisho

A good person is Genku Osho and Honen Shonin, represented by his master and monk. Shinran Shonin says that he has no choice but to believe in the teachings of his master and monk Honen Shonin.

It is said that the teachings “law” and the “law” of the rules, which were passed down by word of mouth until around 100 years after the fall of the Buddha, became a “sutra storehouse” that collected “laws” and “ritsuri,” and a “ritsuri” that collected “laws.” There is an alternative translation of Amida's petition in the “Buddha theory Muryojukyo,” which is the fundamental scripture of the Jodo religion. Roughly divided between the 24 Gan system and the 48 Gan lineage, the former is thought to be the early Jodo religion thought, and the latter is thought to be the Jodo religion thought developed in the late period. Amida's oath is all it takes to say that sentient beings are saved. The Pure Land of Paradise was created for that purpose. Where on earth will I go when I die? Amida takes me to the Pure Land of Paradise. This is a characteristic of the Jodo religion and the Pure Land Thought.
Rather than that interpretation, it is more important for people to enjoy the fact that it is now being conveyed as a teaching, and even if it was added later, I accept this as the Buddha's intention.

I was spooked by Tato Hihonen Shonin, and even if I did nembutsu and ended up in hell, I waited with no further regrets. Shoisho

It doesn't matter if Honen Seijin is wrong and Nembutsu is a business that falls to hell. Originally, I was a lousy self that I couldn't realize even if I worked hard at ascetic practices, so that's all.

Please, I would be happy if you could take good care of your respect.
Dragon Tree Bosatsu is not called Ryuki Clan, and I cannot forbid the sense of incongruity for those taught by the Shinshu sect or the Jodo sect.
Jōkō-ji

Yes, I have it, supplement

The 18th wish is properly written in the original text of an old Indian word called Indian or Sanskrit.
So please don't worry and praise Namu Amida Buddha.

supplemented
When translating the original Sanskrit petition 18th and 19th wishes into Chinese, they were put together once so that the monk who translated them could easily understand them, and translated them by dividing them into 3 parts: the 18th, 19th, and 20th wishes in Chinese.
Therefore, there may be people who say that it has been added.
However, since words from the 19th petition in the original text are used instead of added, it is not an appropriate addition.
Therefore, if you read not only the 18th prayer in Chinese, but also the 19th and 20th wishes together, I think it will come closer to the meaning of the original Sanskrit text.

If Honen Shonen had a chance to read the original Sanskrit text, I think the 19th petition in the original text was the most important recommendation.

In any case, the content is Amitabha Buddha's oath that they want to reach enlightenment, believe in Amitabha Buddha, pray for death in the Pure Land of Paradise, do good deeds to the extent possible in this world, and send their merits to Amida Buddha, and when they die, they will follow the Bodhisattvas themselves to pick them up, take away the suffering of death, and take them to the Pure Land of Paradise.
