The difference between the Heart Sutra and sects

I read it.
As you said, Shinshu has already been saved by Amida. So it's probably more important to be quiet in the nenbutsu of thanksgiving, so basically you wouldn't say anything about the Heart Sutra. (In terms of doctrine, I think it's best to have a monk from the Otani school of Shinshu teach me.)

I'm a Jodo sect monk, so this might be a stupid answer...
The Heart Sutra is a very important sutra of Mahayana Buddhism, so there is enough merit in being humble. What's more, if they take care of the deceased, I think it would be of great merit.

That's because Shinshu is also a religious group with the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism.

What is important is the heart and act of a close person sincerely offering memorial services to those who have passed away.
I am very thankful for that.
Isn't it important to accept those feelings and actions with an honest feeling?
And I'm sure that person's feelings and actions have been conveyed to the husband.
I'm sure that person held a memorial service, and my husband would be really happy and ungrateful.

I wonder if you like it. What do you think?

I'm sure my husband smiled at his aunt from the Pure Land of Paradise and made her happy. Please don't worry.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

The “Heart Sutra” deals with important contents for understanding the “sky” in “wisdom” out of “wisdom and blessing,” which are the two materials that should be practiced for “enlightenment and nirvana,” which is the purpose of Buddhism.

It's just my personal opinion, but in the Jodo Shinshu, who places emphasis on Amida Nyorai's “death” to paradise, I understand that even though the “Heart Sutra” (content) is unnecessary for “past death” (or interferes with death, or acts on one's own power, and furthermore, it is a magic that should be denied by Jodo Shinshu), it is probably necessary in order to reach “enlightenment and nirvana,” which is the ultimate goal. I will.

Well, even if you don't deal with it in this world, in any case, I think that after passing away in paradise, you will also practice the contents of the “Heart Sutra” due to indoctrination by Amida Nyorai.

Certainly, rather than half-heartedly aiming to understand the true nature of the “Heart Sutra,” if you are directly receiving the indoctrination of Amida Nyorai in paradise, you will come close to complete understanding, so of course, prioritizing “death” over anything else is of course not incomprehensible...

Anyway, the content of the “Heart Sutra” is definitely essential for “enlightenment and nirvana,” so I would like to endeavor to understand it as much as possible in order to improve “wisdom.”

Now, as an answer to your question, I think turning the merits of chanting the “Heart Sutra” to those who have passed away (not only so that all sentient beings are saved) is important as something that contributes to wisdom and good fortune for those who have died (not only all sentient beings) to reach enlightenment and nirvana.

So, in my humble opinion, I don't think there's a problem.

Also, when it comes to the Heart Sutra, along with reciting it, it is necessary above all else to understand its contents. I would be grateful if you could also refer to the following humble remarks.

The only reason the denominations are different is that the vehicles are different, and the destination is the same.
Whether it's a bus, motorcycle, bicycle, walk, bullet train, or limited express, the destination is the same at every station.
There is no place other than where I am now.
Our mouths can swallow green tea, black tea, oolong tea, corn tea, chai, jasmine tea, cola, cider, whatever. That is a true laid-back sense of religion.
That guy is bad because it's oolong tea is a way of thinking that narrows people down, so it's not Buddhist.

Isn't this bad because it's different from that denomination? Or, there are various religions and denominations, but why are they divided? Things that make sense, etc. It's often asked.
At times like this, I answered as follows.

“There are various manufacturers that sell cars that everyone can ride, but they're all the same 'car', right?”

After meeting the requirements of “run & turn & stop,” which is basic performance, manufacturers around the world make various types of cars, and all of them have the same basic performance. No matter which one you ride, the fundamental structure and function do not change.
However, from there on, for example, the so-called “characteristics and uses” of each car will differ, such as large living space, easy to drive with a low center of gravity, low fuel efficiency, ecology & economy, sports car-like driving, cheap yet luxurious interior, high degree of freedom in seat arrangement, comfortable exhaust notes, lots of luggage, high visibility, etc., etc. While each manufacturer competes with each other, they gather the best technology they have cultivated up to that point and launch a diverse range of cars into the world.
But why is that? This is because the “usage and needs” of cars in situations such as “convenience” or “preferences” change from person to person. Couriers and movers can't work at all if they use the GT-R or NSX, and even if a Formula 1 pro driver runs in a Suzuki light truck, they probably won't be able to aim for the championship.

In the past, the high priests chewed the “teachings” preached by the Buddha from various directions with their own “perspective,” and expressed them in their own way. As a result, branches of Buddhism, which were divided as characteristic, have been transmitted to this day in the form of “sects.” That is the established Buddhism of the 13 sects and 56 schools that currently remain in Japan.

The teaching for us to hold hands and live better probably doesn't even make a distinction between Buddhism, Shinto, and Christianity anymore. The basic performance leading up to that point is (should be) the same as everyone's teaching.
So which manufacturer makes a “purpose → car” that is easy for you to stick to that “teaching → basic performance,” or that you find appealing in other ways, and has functions that suit the application? That's why it's called a “sect.”
