In the Jodo Shinshu sect, they preach death and immediate attainment of Buddha. I'm very thankful for this, but as an ordinary person with a lot of worries, I would like to reach nirvana, or a similar state of peace before I die. Is this an unfulfilled wish?
【Nirvana】【State of Peace】
For now, as I can say,
Nirvana or gaining faith isn't about being immersed in a strange sense of ecstasy or ecstasy.
Hello, nice to meet you.
I'm happy to hear your question from Nembutsu no Tomo (Tomo).
It is called “nirvana before death” and “a state of similar peace.”
Nirvana = becoming a Buddha, this won't come true.
In the first place, the fact that an ordinary person becomes a Buddha is exceptional if you think about it from a Buddhist tradition. Rather, they are only surprised and delighted to be able to attain Buddhism after death. This is something we can be happy about now in this world.
There is no doubt that after death, the people who were ahead, me, and the family that followed will all go to the same place and be reunited. Isn't this also an unexpected joy and a sense of relief? If you look at this as a “quasi-state of peace,” this will come true.
If you want to know a little more about current life profits, please look up current life benefits.
Let's walk along the path of Nembutsu together.

We are in the Jodo sect, but according to the doctrine of the Jodo Shinshu sect, death must not only be death after death. Nirvana is an idealized way of being by comparing it to the death of the Buddha. I think death, or nirvana, is a simple expression of the fact that death is like nirvana.
When you're in trouble in a snowy mountain
If you can see the window light even if it's far away
Despair and fear quickly disappeared
I feel empowered to walk towards that light.
It's not like I've been saved in the blizzard yet
It's almost as if I've been saved
You'll be filled with a great sense of relief.
This is the religion of the Jodo Shinshu sect.
