Well, I’m happy to meet you again. Dear my cute children. Today, I have a souvenir for you. It is that I was able to get stuck in Sukhavati Jodo, “the true teachings of Jodo”, and that I am able to teach you about Jodo Shinshu. Your mother has returned to do this. Well, if you listen to this story, you will get ease. Listen carefully my appreciative story.

Jodo Shinshu, it is the thought that a monk called Shinran saint (1173-1262) opened in 1200s in Kamakura era (1192-1333) I think you already know this.
This person is Shinran saint.
To tell what thought it is, to say in a word, it is the thought of “bad people positive causes, other power application” (There are several other theories.) My loved teacher was telling in the past that bad people positive causes is the way of thinking that “all of us realize that we are villains of equality in the last years, and the villain who entrusted himself to Amida, understanding Amida Buddha’s application can contribute to the true salvation.” To explain what it means, first, however hard we make efforts by our own power, we can’t eventually discard attachment to self and desires. Therefore, we cannot escape from hesitation, suffering, annoyance that are brought from desires and attachment by no means. Everyone is the being that do anything in some occasions. Therefore, we all cannot escape from becoming a guilty and guilty villain equally in this world.
We all are the guilty and guilty beings that live with sadness that cannot be separated from bad karma on our back. Therefore, Amida Buddha sincerely mercies on it and vowed to save us with great mercy. Without throwing away anyone, and equally. This is Amida Buddha’s application.
We are villains of end-of-life equality. Therefore, Amida Buddha sincerely mercies on it and vowed to save us all. The villains who entrust to Amida Buddha by understanding this application can contribute to true salvation. Amida Buddha vowed to save silly us all. So, it always snuggles up to us and always calls on us. The power of that call is other power. When we entrust to Amida Buddha, it means we entrust to the calls from Amida Buddha.

Gyou: there are unreasonable and natural calls from Amida Buddha that says you should believe the teaching.
Shin: believing it.
Shou: reaching the border of comfort. This is Jodo Ojo.
This is the very easy explanation of the thought of “Kyougyoushinshou” which is the Jodo Shinshu’s scriptures that Shinran saint presented. This is what one my adoring teacher told me. What the person states:
We think that Amida Buddha is actually everything including humans. The everything presents us important thoughts naturally without any measure. We receive the thought and take a new path.
For example, do you have an experience like this? Although you think about this and that desperately to solve a problem when encountering it you can’t come up with good solution to it completely. However hard you think about it, it is the repeated rounds. When you think oh no, the road opens at once, by a word that someone casually said. The someone only said a word naturally not because he or she tried to advise you. This is the natural calling without any measure. At least I think so, but how about the monk of Jodo Shinshu?
Jodo Shinshu: “the true thought of Jodo” is nothing more than entrusting yourself to the voice of Amida Buddha and living in this world. By throwing of relying only one’s own power, and living entrusting yourself to the unlimited light of Yata.

“Namu” means entrusting yourself. Namu Amida Butsu” means entrusting yourself in the unlimited light of Yata.
It is the word of appreciation from the heart that says “oh Amida, I believe you and entrust all of myself to you.”
This is how I am in the state of Buddha with this in mind. Well, let’s do this together!
Oh, we are (already) in the salvation. How appreciative it is!
Gassho! Oh, Namu Amida Butsu. Oh!!
Paa!!
I now, by the power of the true desire of the Buddha I will achieve rebirth and attain Buddhahood.
I have returned from Jodo rewarded for the true application now and am going to turn around the winning merit.
And I’ll salve everything from the sufferings.
These references are what told me about Jodo Shinshu. They are very good books. Please read them♪

“Shinshugaku and disability studies – in order to construct new points of view to capture disability and independence- “written by Tsunenobu Yoritaka. (Published in 2015 by Seikatsu Shoin”.
Mr. Yoritaka capture “all seniors who have lived with their disabilities” as Amida Buddha from the viewpoint of welfare for people with disabilities. Your mother interpreted the existence of Amida Buddha as “everything” while I was practicing the other power based on the thought of Jodo Shinshu presented by Mr. Yoritaka.
I talked about the thought of Jodo Shinshu in the above although I am immature, but how was that?
