About the method of salvation

I've heard that you can be saved just by chanting nembutsu, but please tell me the reason for this.
Isn't Shinran's teaching devotion right cause name reward?

How about an inscription on the True Image of Songoku?

Even if it is said to be the teaching of Shinran Shonin...
What is that work
Revealed Jodo True Doctrine Documents (Kyogyo Shinshu), Pure Land Bunryu Gathering, Fool Doodang, Three Sutras Reborn Bunryu, Songoh True Image Inscription
Isennen Tennen certificate, Japanese anthem, news
There are various things.
“Only one of them” is not the correct Shinran Shonin teaching, but “all” are unmistakable Shinran Shonin's teachings.

What is the basis for Nembutsu Osei...
How about touching on the “Songoh True Image Inscription”?
It is not a position where only one Shinran Shonin is correct, and I can feel the humility that they sympathize with this part in the books and commentaries handed down from their ancestors, and the enthusiasm that everyone says the importance of Nembutsu.

As an aside, one of the 7 high priests of the Jodo Shinshu sect (7 monks that Shinran Shonin respected)
The detailed setting of Hell and Nembutsu Osho is described in detail in Genshin's Osho Summaries.
Shinran Shonin was also influenced by Genshin's view of the Pure Land.
There is no harm in taking a look at the modern translation.

Buddha's side and my side

If you ask the side of “me” (my faith, effort, understanding, change, experience, etc.) for the basis for salvation, my hesitation deepens.
The basis for salvation is Amida Nyorai, Amitabha's original wish, Shakyamuni's proper understanding, the work of the Buddhas, and well, whatever you take, it is on the side of the “Buddha.”

Faith is something to be earned. It's on the Buddha's side. The state of touching (listening/praising) “Namu Amida Buddha” is faith (salvation), and what is on my side is “understanding of faith” and “understanding of salvation.”

Let's say there is a Buddha called the “inverted Buddha.” The Buddha's original wish is for everyone to learn how to stand back up. The state of being “turned upside down” by touching that wish is faith and salvation.
While it's going backwards, I don't know why it was done. If you enjoy it later after the reverse climb is over, you may be able to gain “understanding” of devotion and salvation, such as “because I brought my stomach so close to the horizontal bar” and “because I hit the ground firmly” (← not my effort, but a technique where I was turned away by the wishes of the inverted Buddha).
However, whether there is that “understanding” or not, there is no change in the fact that “receiving faith and being saved = being able to reverse up.”

Amida Nyorai vowed to save all sentient beings, made a wish, and is now working for you until it became the phrase “Namu Amida Buddha.” Even now, it has already arrived.

First, let's say Nembutsu. Then, let's enjoy “Nembutsu no Yoru” (something that encourages understanding).

Three parts of the Jodo Sutra

According to the details described in the Jodo Sanbu Sutra (Muryoju-kyo Sutra, Kanmuryoju-kyo Sutra, Amida Sutra), it is thought that people can pass away in paradise with the nickname Nembutsu.
Of the 48 original wishes of Amitabha Buddha, this is pledged in the 18th wish.
As an aside, the karaoke song they are good at is called number 18, and it seems that is the origin of putting number 18 on baseball aces.
