What is Shin Buddhism?
In Buddhism, it is said that there are more than 84,000 different paths to Enlightenment. Amongst these paths, Ekoji shares the Pure Land Buddhist teachings of Shinran Shonin, a 12th century Japanese Buddhist monk whose path is based on the Nembutsu Teaching of Amida Buddha (the Buddha of Infinite Light and Life). The Nembutsu Path is to become aware of the ignorant self and to rely upon the Infinite Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha, which is expressed in sincere gratitude through the recitation of the Nembutsu, Namu Amida Butsu.
