Kyoto 5


In this week, I also want to talk more detail about Jodoshu and Jodoshinshu. Firstly, let’s look at Jodoshu. The main temple for Jodoshu is Chion-in. we can see an imposing set of steps and the largest gate in Japan at there. Also, there are a huge series of hand scrolls. Jiriki(自力)and Tariki (他力) is very important word in Jyodoshu. Earlier persuasion, they relied on oneself. However, Honen, a reader of Jodoshu said, “Instead of reliance on one’s own power(自力), we can rely on another(他力)”. In place of wisdom and asceticism, he preached the importance of devotion and charitable works. It was a reformation which opened up Buddhism to ordinary people.

 Secondly, I want to talk about Jyodoshinshu. The main temple is Nishi-Hongan-ji. Nishi-Hongan-ji is said that, it had a bigger budget then the whole of Kyoto prefectude. In his opinion, we have to say “Na-mu-A-mi dabustu” only one time from your heart! That is big different from Honen’s opinion, saying this words again and again to get a bless.

 Like this, they are some different between Jodoshu and Jodoshinshu.
