Nembutsu

Does chanting nembutsu once guarantee paradise after death?
Does just chanting mean you have attained enlightenment?
It doesn't change anything when I chant it, but is it possible to say that I was saved by this?

Namu Amida Buddha

You're learning about the teachings of Nembutsu, aren't you?

Nembutsu is Buddha's enlightenment, but whether or not I, praising it, will enlighten it in my present life or not may be another matter. I have received salvation where the Buddha's enlightenment reveals me.

But if you don't think Kei has been saved, that's all. I think it's a situation where you haven't been saved, or you can't feel that you're being saved.

“Nothing changes”

However, if salvation comes from changing something, for example, changing our body or mind, that is salvation, it is self-reliance of “only doing our own body, enjoying our heart,” as I answered in the previous question.

Rather, I think it's a relief that I was able to encounter the “truth” called Nembutsu, which continues to change from place to place depending on relationships.

Kei seems to know various Buddhist terms and interpretations, but it also seems that he is confused by that.

What kind of questions do you usually listen to? It might be a good idea to visit a temple and ask the chief priest one-on-one, or read one book of the Jodo Shinshu sect over and over again.

Nembutsu is remembering the Buddha, that is, listening to the Buddha's wishes. If the problem is what will happen to me due to nembutsu, it is like they are memorizing the Buddha, and they are supposed to be remembering me. Nembutsu has become nenme.

Let's live a life of actually saying nembutsu while asking about Buddha's wishes in Buddhist scriptures and books.

It's about whether Mr. Kei can now obtain salvation from the story “Paradise After Death” as a fact. Be patient and ask.

It was sung as Namu Amida Buddha, wasn't it?
Then don't worry, if you want the Pure Land of Paradise, Amida Buddha will pick you up when you run out of life.
Whether it's true or not is fun after death.
Honen Shonin, who was said to have the greatest wisdom at Mt. Hiei, says it, so it's worth believing.
Until that day comes, let's do what we can do in this world, what we want to do, and as much as we can.

You can be given death for every thought

Nembutsu is a ticket for Osei Gokuraku.
One ticket is enough.
Even so, I nembutsu over and over, got tickets,
I have tickets in my wallet today too, and I can be happy to confirm that I haven't lost my tickets.

It's not over with that...

Buddha told Anan

You often say this word.
In other words, this word is based on the name of Muryojubutsu.

This is a verse from Kanmuryojukyo.

Please, if you have nembutsu, I would be grateful if you could keep up with that word.

A Buddhist act that is hard to believe.

Good evening.
Does reciting Nembutsu once guarantee death in paradise?
Also, nothing changes when you chant it.
You have a question like that.
I can understand the feeling that they want to be confirmed for their actions.
In fact, there was a time when I thought that way too.
However, if you change the way you look at it, it is extremely rare to be blessed with an opportunity to call (sing) nembutsu even once in your life, no matter what the reason.
It's normal for most people in the world to never praise Nembutsu once in their lives.
Based on our common sense, it's hard to believe that we can gain enlightenment or be saved just by praising Nembutsu.
Strangely enough, however, the Buddhist practice of praising this nenbutsu has been handed down from generation to generation in various countries throughout the ages, and is still alive in Japan today.
What I can say clearly is that things that are unnecessary to us humans will not last long.
In fact, there are many people who have lived a happy life by praising Nembutsu.
First, please do your own research on why nembutsu has been handed down to the present, and episodes of people who lived their lives happily through nembutsu. ※There are many on the internet and in books.
You may find the answer there.
If that doesn't seem to convince you, it means that for you, nembutsu is not a method of attaining enlightenment or being saved.
Please ask for another Buddhist act.
