I've been studying Buddhism for many years, and recently I have something to think about.
It means that “how humans are saved” is essentially the same thing.
There is no difference between denominations.
There are many names: Amida, Yakushi, Hoke, Nyorai, Dainichi, Birushana, and Rosana, but they are all works of the Buddha, and they are all works of salvation.
In this day and age, there have been things called “sects,” divisions, and divisions for a while, and that has become a barrier, and there are still many people who think that there are differences in salvation and teaching from the viewpoint of those who see them.
Is there anything different about how humans are saved in the same Buddhism, the same people, and the same Japan? I don't think there is one.
Therefore,
That person was saved by Amida, that person was saved by the Yakushi, that person was saved by the Buddha, that person was saved by the Buddha, that person was saved by zazen meditation, and that person was saved by the Lotus Sutra, even if they seemed different on the surface, the essence was the same, and each individual discovered the function of salvation by those actions.
Therefore, the way salvation is activated and the form of salvation is the same for everyone, isn't it?
The only thing that is different is the expression, the only thing that is different.
So, for people who are good at nembutsu, there's nothing better than nembutsu.
Each human being looks deeply at what is called a human being and makes an assessment. Discerning the truth of oneself and the truth of this world can be seen by everyone as we proceed through nembutsu, zazen, meditation, and Buddhist practice.
That is, true serenity within the human heart has no denominations, borders, age, or gender.
It means that the image of salvation is the same for people back then and today.
Therefore, people who are saved by nembutsu will certainly be saved by nembutsu.
On the other hand, even in the Nembutsu sect, there are people who don't get along well with Nembutsu.
Even in the Zazen sect, there are people who don't get along well with zazen.
Although they are seeking salvation, there are many people who cannot see the Buddha's salvation because their own ego, their own way of looking at things and their own assertions within the so-called self-brain are too strong, and their own psychological activity is too strong.
Even so, if you calm yourself properly and keep asking for salvation so that you don't put yourself first, everyone can be properly saved.
Even if the means, method, and method seem to be different on the surface, it's just that the person discovered the original saving function of the inner Buddha possessed by humans and was saved.
