Diamondlike Shinjin: Look up to the Power of the Tathagata

Namu Amida Butsu

This work is especially dedicated to Zuiken Saizo Inagaki, who sheds light on the pristine and original teachings of Jodo Shinshu (Shin Buddhism) for many people, including myself. I regard him as my soul teacher and I am very much influenced by his words and thoughts, which are deeply imbued with the Wisdom of Compassion of Amida Buddha. I read most of his writings available in Chinese language and I wish to share some of his golden words in this blog in English. Rev. George Gatenby and Mr. Gabriel Schlaefer have been kindly and untiringly assisting me to edit the translated essays so that they are readable and true to the intent of Sensei. May all partake of the wisdom of Shinshu teaching and be overpowered by the light of Amida Buddha.

Namu Amida Butsu!

Look up to the Power of the Tathagata

Do I have shinjin? Is my shinjin real? Is that fine?

Stop pretending! Why are you complaining about shinjin being real or fake? Are there real and fake ones? Speaking of "save you" it means "save you" certainly! Why are you beating about the bush and entertaining (the idea of) "real" and "fake" shinjin? Please, look up to the Power of the Tathagata.
