The Three Pure Land Sutras

While writing a recent blog post, I realized that I had mentioned, but never explained, what the Three Pure Land Sutras are in the Buddhist tradition, and their significance to Mahayana Buddhism as a whole. Think of this as a handy reference post. I haven’t done one of these in a while. 😊 The Buddhist Canon When you think of most world religions, they are usually based on one or two books.…

The Kamakura period is such a funny time in the history not only of Buddhism but of religion in general, if you think about it. When else do you get such whacky dudes such as "guy who preaches that all practices other than reciting a guy's name even just once are ineffective at breaking free from the cycle of reincarnation and is shocked, SHOCKED I tell you that people interpret that as permission to abandon all moral discipline" and "guy who thinks the reason so many natural disasters are happening is because people are reading the wrong books from his religion and to remedy that he teaches everyone to repeatedly chant the title of his favorite book in hopes that somehow this will impart the book's wisdom"?

#I know Nichiren and Jodo-Shu/Shinshu have more depth than that #but come on #at face value this just sounds a bit ridiculous #ah Japan

Western variations for Japanese Buddhist traditions....

With Ōhigan came and gone I would like to share an idea for Westerners who practice Japanese Buddhism.

Ōhigan is celebrated by all Japanese Buddhist Schools and is a time to honor and remember our ancestors as well as remember the 6 perfections.

Traditionally bōtamochi and ohagi are made in the spring and autumn of ōhigan. These are mochi sweets made the same way both times of the year just named after different flowers bōtamochi after the bōtan or peony and ohagi after the higanabana.

In the West or at least the Midwest where I live. It is difficult to find the proper rice flour to make mochi. So I began to think I remember my grandmother making tea cakes. Semi-sweet cookies that we would have with iced tea during the summer and hot tea in the winter. A spin on mochi during ōhigan is making tea cakes with a small well in the center filled with a seasonal jam. Strawberry for spring and spiced apples or pumpkin for the autumn. Offer it to the ancestors and Buddha and then partake in the cookies yourself!

Just wanted to share my idea for any other Western Buddha its out there!

A terrible day for Hawaii and the Buddhist community. The wild fire killed dozens of people and destroyed Lahaina, including the historic and beloved Lahaina Hongwanji Mission (Jodo Shinshu, founded in 1904), Lahaina Jodo Mission (Jodo Shu, founded in 1912), and Lahaina Hokoji Shingon Mission (Shingon Shu, founded in 1902). These three temples have been central places of community, refuge, culture, and support for generations of Japanese Americans and others. The Shingon temple was the first outside of Asia. The Jodo one featured a three-story pagoda (rare outside of Asia) and replica of the famous Amida Daibutsu of Kamakura. The Jodo Shinshu temple sangha is especially large and active for the area, with over 70 member families. Information about how to support the Lahaina Buddhist community in the midst of this tragedy will be forthcoming.

Taming the Monkey Mind - A Guide to Pure Land Practice

Taming the Monkey Mind - A Guide to Pure Land Practice Taming the Monkey Mind - A Guide to Pure Land Practice. Pure Land Buddhism is branch of Mahayana Buddhism. In Pure Land practice people focus on buddha in the form of Amitabha, the buddha of infinite life and infinite light. Believers put their faith in Amitabha Buddha and recite his name, confident in the promises he has given to deliver all who invoke his name. Download the free ebook here: (145 pages) :

Taming the Monkey Mind

What is Pure Land Buddhism?

Pure Land Buddhism is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes devotion to the Buddha Amitabha (also known as Amitayus or Amida Buddha) as the primary means of salvation. The ultimate goal for Pure Land Buddhists is rebirth in the "Pure Land" or "Western Paradise" — a celestial realm where one can practice the Dharma without the distractions and difficulties present in our current world, thus ensuring progress toward enlightenment. Key features of Pure Land Buddhism include: 1. Nianfo/Nembutsu: The core practice of Pure Land Buddhism is the recitation of the name of Amitabha Buddha. In Chinese, it's called "nianfo" and in Japanese, it's "nembutsu." The most common form of this recitation is the phrase "Namo Amituofo" in Chinese or "Nam(u) Amida Butsu" in Japanese. 2. Faith and Devotion: Pure Land places a significant emphasis on sincere faith in Amitabha Buddha and his vow to save all sentient beings. By reciting his name with genuine faith, believers hope to be reborn in the Pure Land. 3. Amitabha's Vows: Central to Pure Land teachings are the 48 vows made by Amitabha Buddha, particularly the 18th vow, in which he promises to ensure the rebirth in his pure land of anyone who sincerely recites his name. 4. Pure Land: This is a paradisiacal realm described in various sutras where practitioners are free from rebirth in the six realms of samsara and can pursue enlightenment without the obstacles found in our current world. 5. Scriptures: Pure Land Buddhism relies on several sutras, but the most important are the Longer Sukhavativyuha Sutra, the Shorter Sukhavativyuha Sutra, and the Amitayurdhyana Sutra. These texts describe Amitabha Buddha, his vows, and the nature of the Pure Land. 6. Accessibility: One of the appeals of Pure Land Buddhism is its accessibility. The primary practice of chanting Amitabha's name is simple and can be done by anyone, regardless of their level of education, social status, or previous deeds. Historically, Pure Land traditions became especially popular in East Asia, including countries like China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. In Japan, the Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land School) and Jodo Shu (Pure Land School) are major representatives of this tradition. While the practices and teachings might differ slightly between regions and specific sects, the emphasis on faith in Amitabha and the aspiration to be reborn in the Pure Land remain central to all.

Zenkō-ji (善光寺) est un temple bouddhiste, situé dans la ville japonaise de Nagano. Construit au VIIe siècle, il fait partie des trésors nationaux du Japon. La ville de Nagano, établie en 1897, fut initialement construite autour du temple. Historiquement, Zenkō-ji est peut-être plus célèbre pour son implication dans les combats entre Uesugi Kenshin et Takeda Shingen au XVIe siècle, quand il a constitué une des bases des opérations de Kenshin. Actuellement, Zenkō-ji est un des derniers sites de pèlerinage au Japon. Zenkō-ji a été fondé avant que le bouddhisme ne soit fractionné au Japon en différentes écoles. Aussi, il appartient actuellement aux deux écoles de bouddhisme japonais, Tendai et Jodo Shu, et est cogéré par 25 prêtres de l’ancienne école, et 14 de la plus récente. Dans le temple sont enchâssées des images du Bouddha Amitabha. Selon la légende, l’image, à l’origine de la dispute entre deux clans, a été immergée dans un canal. Elle a été repêchée plus tard par Yoshimitsu Honda. Le temple serait nommé selon la translittération chinoise du nom de Yoshimitsu. #zenkoji #nagano #japan #travel #長野 #tokyo #善光寺 #長野県 #travelphotography #temple #travelgram #信州 #photography #matsumoto #instagood #photo #日本 #zenkojitemple #nature #kyoto #松本 #trip #beautiful #snow #photooftheday #traveling #instatravel #nightview #長野市 #japantrip https://dragonstudio.fr/2019/05/31/zenko-ji-%e5%96%84%e5%85%89%e5%af%ba-nagano-japon/ (à Zenkō-Ji, a Buddhist Temple in Nagano, Japan.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmL_8z4ItZb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Who Is Amida Buddha: the Buddha of Infinite Light?

Hello Readers, Recently I talked about the Pure Land Buddhist tradition, and in particular the Three Pure Land Sutras that are central to the tradition. But then I realized that I’ve never really explained who Amida (Amitabha) Buddha is. Now that the English language site for Jodo Shu has been retired, I wanted to fill in some gaps in information, and explain Amida Buddha’s significance to the…
