Description

The Venice Hongwanji Buddhist Temple established Sharing the Nembutsu as part of its educational mission to promote the continued study of the Nembutsu path as clarified by Shinran Shonin. Our temple is a Jodo Shinshu temple affiliated with the Nishi Hongawnji tradition, and part of the Buddhist Churches of America.

We encourage members of Sharing the Nembutsu to post their questions, comments, experiences and insights to any and all aspects of life lived in light of the Nembutsu. We welcome visitors to read our posts and learn what Shinran Shonin's path of Pure Land Buddhism means to ordinary people on the way.

The Buddha said:

"Well spoken, Ananda! Your question is excellent. You ask
this insightful question having summoned up deep wisdom and true and subtle powers of expression, and having turned tender thoughts to all sentient beings. In his boundless great compassion, the Tathagata is filled with commiseration for the beings of the three realms. I have appeared in the world and expounded the teachings of the way to enlightenment, seeking to save the multitudes of living beings by blessing them with the benefit that is true and real. Rare is it to encounter and rare to behold a Tathagata, even in countless millions of kalpas..."

Chapter on Teaching from Shinran Shonin's Kyogyoshinsho.
