Jodo Shinshu is the teaching of Sakyamuni Buddha as it was handed down through the religious understanding of Shinran Shonin (1173–1262).
In Jodo Shinshu, the object of worship is Amida, the Buddha of Infinite Light and Life. The Primal Vow of Amida Buddha promises Universal Enlightenment for all beings — a vow of sweeping compassion promising hope and fulfillment to all.
The recitation of the Nembutsu — Namu Amida Butsu — the sacred Name of Amida Buddha is central to practice. It is both Amida’s voice calling to us and our vocal response to that call.
