Shin Buddhist

Shin Buddhism, also called Shinran's Teachings, is a Japanese Buddhist tradition emphasizing reliance on the compassionate vow of Amida Buddha for salvation, rather than personal effort. Practitioners believe that by entrusting themselves to Amida's grace and chanting his name, they can attain enlightenment and outer peace. It focuses on compassionate humility and gratitude, recognizing human limitations and the importance of faith. Shin Buddhism encourages everyday devotion and ethical conduct, viewing reliance on divine compassion as the most effective way to transcend suffering and reach enlightenment, emphasizing that salvation is accessible to all regardless of one's background or efforts.
