I read it.
I would like teachers at Taisho University or Bukkyo University to ask for detailed teachings and religious interpretations, but I will respond as a Jodo sect monk.
As written in the Jodo Sanbu Sutra, the Pure Land of Paradise is a pure land far away. You won't be able to reach that place or state while you're alive. What's more, something so shallow and stupid like us can't reach it.
Please save Amida from the bottom of my heart, and if you say “Namu Amida Buddha Namu Amidabutsu,” please save me from the bottom of my heart, and Amida will come right in front of me and guide me at the time of death, which is on the verge of death. Close people and ancestors who went there earlier will welcome you.
Then, Amitabha passed away far away in the Western Pure Land of Paradise. Shishin Gassho Nanmu Amida Buddha
This world is filthy, it is a place that has been dirty and hurt by our greed, anger, foolishness, and worry, and Amida's Pure Land is pure land without injury at all.
I have taken the teaching of the Jodo sect, the Chinzei Shirahata school of the Jodo sect.
My hometown is Ikko-ji Temple, so it's an old Ikkō school, or Jishu temple, but I don't know the details of the teachings about the Ikkō school. As a disciple of Yoshitada Shonin, Ichijo split from the Chinzei-Shirahata school, but in the early Showa period, the Ikko school was absorbed into the Chinzei-Shirahata school, or Jodo sect.
In the past, I probably worked as a dance nembutsu at my own bō, but I haven't received that teaching in my ascetic practice, so I'm sorry I can't answer that.
Thank you so much for your response. I thought it was probably addressed to me, so I personally answered as a monk.
There are beautiful and wonderful places in this world, I saw a lot of wonderful nature, and I saw wonderful people.
It's such a wonderful world, but as long as we have our selfishness and suffering, our sins, injuries, hesitation, and suffering will not go away. There are probably people in this world who enter a state of enlightenment, but at least I can't do it, so I don't think I'll be able to reach the pure land of this world. However, I was able to encounter Buddhist teachings and nembutsu, and this is the path to the Pure Land.
Professor Ohashi of Taisho University published “Dance Nembutsu” in the Chikuma Bunko in December this year. It's written about the Ikko school. It might be helpful. How about it?
