Jōdo Shinshū Hongwanji-ha

Jōdo Shinshū Hongwanji-ha, also known as the True Pure Land School, is a major branch of Japanese Pure Land Buddhism founded in the 13th century by Shinran Shonin. It emphasizes reliance on the Amida Buddha's compassionate vow for salvation, advocating that sincere nembutsu recitation ("Namu Amida Butsu") allows believers to attain rebirth in the Pure Land, a paradise where enlightenment is possible. The organization operates temples and promotes practices centered on faith, humility, and altruism, aiming to help followers achieve spiritual liberation in this life and the next.
