Thank you for your question about the “Heart Sutra” and the Jodo Shinshu sect, Mr. Hokutosei.
The “Heart Sutra” is a precious sutra that conveys the essence of Buddhism in short sutras
That's it.
In that sense, this sutra is recited in many denominations.
I don't know the details, but sects other than the Jodo Shinshu recite this sutra
I think it might.
For the North Dipper, who feels saved by the “Heart Sutra,” this sutra
Being told from the standpoint of Shinshu that you must not recite is because you have to be refreshed
I don't think it's impossible to feel it.
The Jodo Shinshu sect uses the scripture of Masayori (Yorokoro) as the Jodo Sanbu Sutra.
Other than the Jodo Sanbu Sutra, it is called “Shoshinbyo” and the Seven High Priests made by Shinran Shonin
I also read people's Chinese words and recite them.
From here on, I'm going to write with my personal opinion to some extent, so be aware
that's bad.
The fact that the Jodo Shinshu believes in Amitabha's wish to save sentient beings
It's fundamental.
That wish is called Hongan, and believing in the petition means Shinran Shonin
The Seven High Priests showed it to me earlier, and among them, there are others than believing in the original wish
I was chosen and told that there is no way to be saved
It means that he is Shinran Shonin.
It is also difficult for us to read many scriptures, and we live by which sutras
It's not easy to choose whether to do it.
It's not that the “Heart Sutra” is good or bad,
What is a way to be as a disciple of the Shinshu sect other than the path of believing in the original intention
I think it's an admonition from the idea of not doing it.
It is not recognized as a sutra to be recited in front of the principal image,
The content is important in Buddhism.
Which is correct in that sense, learning the Heart Sutra or studying Shinshu
It doesn't mean that either one is wrong.
The Heart Sutra contains Buddhist ideals,
Unfortunately for me, an ordinary man covered in worries, I can't live up to my ideals.
It was because of Amida's original wish that I was saved.
If you think that way, I think you'll understand.
Let me add one thing: the original wish is Amida's oath
Since then, we have already been saved by Amida's wishes
Add that the idea is that I believe in that kind of thing
I'm coming.
