About the permanent memorial service of the Jodo Shinshu

There is no memorial service in the Jodo Shinshu sect, but this does not mean that memorial services are not held.

The memorial service for the Jodo Shinshu sect is a memorial service of praise. It is a memorial service for me to see the deceased as a Buddha and praise their virtues.
It's not just about praising. It is hoped to “find out with the Buddha,” in other words, to encounter teachings.

Then, even in permanent memorial services, those who pray in connection with the deceased will probably wish that they will participate in the Buddha and his teachings for an eternity (for a long time).

If you start saying various contradictions, “Eitai” itself is immutably contrary to various acts of Buddhism... what is important is where are wishes? Isn't that what it means?

Hello.
You answered last time, and we had another relationship.

“I am aware of the difference between the Eitai Memorial Service and the Eitai Sutra.” I'm sure you already know how to do it, so I'll explain it briefly. This is an answer from my point of view of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school. Here, I will answer the so-called “memorial service” of permanent memorial services.

In the first place, a memorial service is “offering something and turning around (exchanging).” Giving good deeds and merits accumulated on a daily basis to the deceased is conversion, and it is a memorial service. A memorial service cannot be realized unless all actions, remarks, and mind are pure and tidy. In our denomination, as Zendo Daishi says, sentient beings can only do “toxic (toxic) goodness,” in other words, the poisonous act of affliction. For this reason, it is not about holding a memorial service or not, and it is “impossible” from the perspective of teaching.

Specifically, I know of Jodo Shinshu temples that call permanent memorial services, but I don't know what they think about the teachings described above.

I'm sure you understand, but I'll give you a quick explanation for those who see this page.

Eitai Sutra: I want the teaching of only Nembutsu to continue throughout the eternity. Thanks to Amida, the deceased were taken to paradise. I'll let you go too. I want Konomi's teachings to continue until the end of the ages, and I want them to pray for this

Permanent memorial service: Devote merit for the deceased and perform a memorial service for the deceased. A commitment to do this over an eternal period

I hope you find it helpful.

　

The connection with ossuaries and graves is too strong, so I thought it would be a story about not holding a memorial service.

Thank you for giving me a fresh perspective.

It was recognized as an act of praise and reward for altruism involving Buddhist disciples, but I changed my mind.

About 50 years ago, an organization called the Federation of True Religion groups composed of various factions of the Jodo Shinshu sect was established.

It aims to contribute to the progress of world peace and the eternal welfare of humankind.

It's not treated as a memorial service related to an ossuary or tomb, and the meaning of memorial services also changes from the viewpoint of protecting peace and welfare.

It's a marriage to meet Amida.
