study questions are provided for personal use to check understanding of
the material. Any insights and reflections will be appreciated.
What is Shin Buddhism?
Shin Buddhism is a Pure Land denomination originating in Japan in the
13th century, though Pure Land tradition and teaching has a long history
going back to India. This tradition originated with Shinran (1173-1263).
He studied initially on Mount Hiei, a Tendai Monastery, and later with the
Pure Land teacher Honen (1133-1212). Living among the common people, he
interpreted the compassion of Amida Buddha and the Pure Land Sutras to
meet the spiritual needs of ordinary people, peasants, hunters, fishermen
and merchants who could not leave their homes to engage in monastic life.
He taught the way of trust in Amida Buddha's Vows as the basis for
ultimate enlightenment of even the most lowly and evil person.
His teaching further developed under the guidance of Rennyo (1415-99)
who transformed the movement to a major Buddhist denomination. It was
brought to the west by Japanese immigrants who came to work on the sugar
plantations of Hawaii and farms on the mainland. As a living teaching
today, it gives meaning and hope to hosts of people.
We hope that you will enjoy this course.
