by Rev. Dr. Alfred Bloom
Time does not permit me to go into detail on my life experience that led me to Buddhism and to Shin Buddhism. However, suffice it to say that I began as a fundamentalist Baptist and through a series of experiences finally arrived home in Shin Buddhism. It is against this background that I would present the unique potential of Shin Buddhism in American society, as an alternative path for those seeking a more realistic understanding of the self and a more personally satisfying approach to life. In the time allotted to me, I can only enumerate a few points which I believe have significance for the propagation of Shin Buddhism in American society. In the first place, Shin Buddhism is a layperson's religion. It was directed by Shinran to lay people, farmers, merchants, hunters, townspeople who could not leave their social obligation to enter monastic orders or attain the exalted spiritual experiences achieved by eminent monks. Shinran challenged the elitist religion of his day by offering a way which involved a depth of spiritual experience within the context of ordinary life. His understanding of the path of deliverance begins with the recognition of one's ineradicable, passion-ridden nature, defiled by all kinds of evils, as the basis of conflict and violence.

What is Shin Buddhism?
Shin Buddhism is a Pure Land denomination originating in Japan in the 13th century, though Pure Land tradition and teaching has a long history going back to India. This tradition originated with Shinran (1173-1263). He studied initially on Mount Hiei, a Tendai Monastery, and later with the Pure Land teacher Honen (1133-1212). Living among the common people, he interpreted the compassion of Amida Buddha and the Pure Land Sutras to meet the spiritual needs of ordinary people, peasants, hunters, fishermen and merchants who could not leave their homes to engage in monastic life. He taught the way of trust in Amida Buddha's Vows as the basis for ultimate enlightenment of even the most lowly and evil person.

Shin Buddhism
At the heart of the Shin Buddhist teaching lies a vision of true reality as alive with wisdom and compassion, working to bring all beings to the highest fulfillment of human life, the attainment of Buddhahood.
Shinran teaches that this activity manifests itself as Amida Buddha, who resolved to save all beings by bringing into his Pure Land, the realm of enlightenment, all who say his Name, entrusting themselves to his Vow. He thus performed practices for long eons and fulfilled this Vow, so that his Name, Namu Amida Butsu, came to resound throughout the universe, awakening all beings to the reality of great compassion.
Saying the Name results in birth into the Pure Land, not because it is a good act that people perform, but because it is the activity of Amida Buddha himself giving the virtues of his own practice to them. Shinran therefore stresses that genuine nembutsu arises naturally and spontaneously from the Buddha's mind that unfolds itself in us and transforms our minds into wisdom and compassion.
As long as we perform religious practices or say the nembutsu contriving to achieve Buddhahood, our acts are based on attachment to our own goodness. In fact, we constantly cling to imagined selves that we take to be permanent and real, seeking to enhance and protect ourselves by erecting barriers against all that we see as standing apart. Thus arise the feelings that poison ordinary life - desire, envy, anger, fear. Acts rooted in such anxiety and self-attachment can only lead to further pain.

Book Review by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Shin Buddhism: Bits of Rubble Turn into Gold
Taitetsu Unno
Doubleday 09/02 Paperback $12.95
ISBN 0-385-50469-1 Recently retired, Taitetsu Unno was the Jill Ker Conway Professor of Religion at Smith College. He travels throughout the world as a lecturer on Japanese Buddhism, religion, and culture. Dr. Unno is America's foremost authority on Pure Land Buddhism which dates back to the sixth century in Japan. While Zen developed in monasteries, this path had more appeal among the common people. The author's explanation of the subtitle is as follows: "Buddhism is a path of supreme optimism, for one of its basic tenets is that no human life or experience is to be wasted, abandoned, or forgotten, but all should be transformed into a source of vibrant life, deep wisdom, and compassionate living. This is the connotation of the classical statement that sums up the goal of Buddhist life: 'Transform delusion into enlightenment.' On the level of everyday experience, Shin Buddhists speak of this transformation as 'bits of rubble turn into gold.' " This overview by Dr. Unno contains four parts: Transformation, Unfolding Awareness, Life as Creative Art, and Expanding Horizons. One of the central elements of Shin Buddhism is deep hearing which enables individuals to awaken to the boundless compassion that sustains all of life. The Pure Land tradition emphasizes the inner discipline of self-cultivation which aims at the unfolding of humility and generosity. The daily intoning of "I entrust myself to Amida Buddha" enables individuals to grow in the realization of the true self.

Here is a transcript of a presentation made by Shaku Joseph Jarman at a major Buddhist gathering in Japan in 2002. “Jazz and Jodo Shinshu:
My Life as Musician and Shinshu Minister in Brooklyn, New York”
By Shaku Joseph Jarman
Greetings to everyone and thank you very much for being here. It is a great
honor and pleasure for me to be able to share my joy of living with you all.
I’d like to begin with a statement from my teacher the Rev. Gyoko T.
Saito,who began guiding me into the wonderfulness of the Dharma in 1968, he
made his passage last year on March 10th and I also lost my Aikido Master,
Shihan Fumio Toyoda on July 4th of last year, but I will speak about him a
little later. First, from Rev. Saito, August 8,1981.
“THIS IS TO CERTIFY THE WELCOMING OF SHAKU GYO-ON, FORMERLY JOSEPH JARMAN, INTO THE SANGHA OF THE UNIVERSE. To commit oneself to the Teaching is something beyond one’s imagination. When the Japanese committed themselves to the teaching of Gautama Buddha about 1400 years ago, they made a tremendous symbolic commitment, to build a

Shin Buddhism: The Contemporary Situation
By Rev. Dr. Alfred Bloom
We are living in a very competitive religious environment, confronted by a variety of forms of spirituality that appeal to the young and old in our society. There is a great deal of searching going on. We must also recognize that the term Honpa Hongwanji Mission did not mean mission as it has been used in western religion. Rather than bringing the teaching to a new people, its main purpose was to assist Japanese immigrants who brought Shin Buddhism as their traditional faith or those Japanese who, having no clear affiliation, joined the temple for sociality and support in their hard life on the plantations and towns of Hawaii. As long as there has been a strong, coherent Japanese community, the temples have been secure in their role. There was no need to reach out to a larger community, though there were some efforts at that by Bishop Yemyo Imamura. Further, there was no necessity to reconsider the role of the temples in the broader social context. The war, however, disrupted the life of the temples with the removal of ministers and closure of temples and on the mainland the total incarceration of Japanese-Americans. After the war temple life had to be reestablished. It is now some 50 years since that time and the situation of Japanese-Americans and Buddhism has significantly changed in the society. It is a time for reflection and a search for new and creative approaches to meet the many issues and concerns, not simply of our members, but of our whole community.

Shin Buddhism and the Buraku-min
By Toshinori Kasahara
The issue of discrimination is a concern for every religion that claims to teach Equality and Freedom, but in fact many people have suffered discrimination from religious groups. In the past, discrimination in America has been against women, black people, and other minorities. Today especially it is a global issue as the world becomes more interdependent. In its broadest sense, the danger for increased social division is rising between the economically advanced countries and the third world. In addition, more attention needs to be given to the problem faced by the Buraku-min in Japan. I am a Buddhist and, as my practice, I wish to focus on the issue of the Buraku-min. In other words, I see the mission of Buddhism through this issue. You may not know that there were many outcast people in Japanese history who are called Buraku-min. They have been discriminated against in Japan for over 400 years. Japanese Buddhists have been deeply involved historically with this issue. The second opinion is that the Burakumin had its origin in religious traditions. Buddhist ideas of "non-killing" and karma were used as tools of discrimination against those who are engaged in those impure jobs. Although humans must kill living things for their survival, to kill was interpreted by Buddhists as the most evil and unethical act, with the result that it was used to discriminate against those particular people. Karma was understood as the fate, which people received because of evil actions in previous lifetimes, and those born into families assigned to the lowest occupations were considered to deserve this life of impurity. These ideas were popularized in Japan, creating the negative image of "Buraku-min."

Note on Shin Buddhism This is my personal note on Shin Buddhism. I would like to argue Shin Buddhism as a whole: not just Shinran or institution. On this home page I am going to introduce various different theories on Shin Buddhism to illustrate diversity and richness of Shin Buddhism. Personally speaking, however, I cannot help thinking that all these scholars and thinkers fell in love with Shinran and later developed theories to demonstrate home much they care for Shinran. I hope, therefore, we could find the core of Shinran's attractiveness through these arguments. 1) Controversy 2) Book Review 3) Special Research on Sangowakuran Incident

Report 2002

Shin Buddhism (Jodoshinshu in Japanese, meaning 'The True School of Pure Land Buddhism') can be defined as a Buddhist school for lay people. In Shin Buddhism even priests are allowed to marry and there is no essential distinction between priests and lay followers. It is now confirmed as historical fact that the founder of Shin Buddhism, Shinran (1173-1262), was married to Eshin-ni (1182- some time after 1268). Eshin-ni is presumed to have been the daughter of a Lord, Miyoshi Tamenori, from Echigo province. Bearing in mind her literary ability and beautiful handwriting, as demonstrated in her letters, known as Eshin-ni Monjo , she must at very least have come from a family of considerable affluence. Shinran Shonin's marriage to Eshin-ni may have taken place after his banishment to Echigo (1207). They are believed to have had five or six children.

Preface
The Buddha's teaching of the way for all beings to attain genuine freedom from anxiety and suffering is affirmed in the Shin interpretation of the Pure Land path. This joyful fact has been experienced by millions of Buddhists for over two and a half thousand years and is a living reality today. This introduction is in two parts. The first is a brief outline of the main tenets of Shin Buddhism and the second follows up on some of the themes in the first half about which readers may have further questions. We are happy to be of assistance to readers and invite you to email us if you have anything more you would like to discuss. All quotations from the writings of Shinran (1173 - 1262) are taken from the Shin Buddhism Translation Series published by the Hongwanji International Center. A Brief Outline of Shin Buddhism For Shin Buddhists, the true nature of things is a lively wisdom and compassion that resonates in the lives of ordinary people. This wisdom and compassion takes form as Amida Buddha.
