Hello, nice to meet you.
As a friend of Nembutsu, I am very happy to hear questions about how to listen. We have a good relationship, haven't we?
I am speaking of my position as a monk of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school. Do you belong to the same faction?
In conclusion, as the monk said, “Buddha from the moment of death” is the correct answer. In Shinran Shonin's book, “Kyogyo Shinshu” (Shinmaki), it is stated that “sentient beings in Nembutsu surpass Daikanirvana on the evening of death because they struggle with the supernatural Kongoshin.” In other words, there is a saying that sentient beings who have received your faith will immediately “surpass Great Nirvana” in the Pure Land and gain great enlightenment when their lives end. Yes, it is the Buddha passed away immediately. In this sense, it is “the same” Buddha as Buddha.
The so-called “Shinyo Miroku (Shinyo Miroku)” is equivalent in the sense that it is certain that sentient beings that have received devotion will become Buddha in the next life like Miroku Bosatsu “in this world.” Certainly, Miroku Bosatsu becomes a Buddha after a long period of time, but instead of emphasizing that date, it emphasizes that it is certain that it will become a Buddha. In this sense, although it is not “the same” as the Buddha, it means that they are in an “equal” position (same as the Bodhisattva) in the sense that it has been determined. Also, the person in a position that has received this devotion is called “Gensho Shojoju (Gensho Shojoju).” The Rebirth of Buddha is certain in this world, and it is not confirmed after going to the Pure Land.
You've been listening very often. So that's the question.
I hope you find it helpful.
