| Nembutsu | To pronounce the Name of Amida Buddha. The Nembutsu in Shin Buddhism is to call the Name (jp: myogo)of Amida Buddha with joy and gratitude having awakened to both the
Unconditional Love of Amida Buddha and the reality of one’s own karmic
existence. It is recited thereafter as an expression of the gratitude,
not as a form of religious practice or as a meritorious act. |
