Presentation transcript:

The True Pure Land School “Even a good man will be received in Buddha’s land, how much more a bad man”

-True Pure Land was based on the teachings of Shinran -It is often referred to as Shin Buddhism -

-Shinran believed that all human beings were sinful -They must throw themselves on the mercy of Amitabha - He has compassion so he will save them

-Shinran criticised the Pure Land school’s emphasis on good moral actions even though Honen was his teacher! -Arrogance and self – importance could only come from carrying out good actions for just developing merit

-Shinran claimed that a single act of faith was sufficient for Amitabha to save someone -Even the faith felt by worshippers was a gift from Amitabha

-Shinran appears to have regarded Sukhavati as the ultimate aim, NOT an interim step

-Shinran himself! -Exiled from the Tendai sect -Wanted to get married

-Result? -Priests within the True Pure Land can get married -They perform ceremonies -Their role is often inherited -Encouraged to lead a humble life

-Result? -Priests don’t criticise others -They have no power over their own salvation -They rely totally on the compassion of Amitabha

-Summary of the True Pure Land School -Great appeal to those who had busy lives -Great for those who felt excluded by other schools -Great for women!

-Criticisms of the True Pure Land School -Does not reflect true Buddhism? -Emphasis on faith is very different from other schools? -Seeking salvation through another being is cheating? -It is patronising?
