NEW BOOK! Worshipping Amida Buddha - Liturgies and ceremonies of Amidaji Temple

Jodo Shinshu is the school of the Primal Vow. Everything we do in our religious life must be in accord with the three things mentioned by Amida Buddha in His Primal Vow: “entrust to me, say my Name (Nembutsu) and wish to be born in my land”.

I have already explained in my book The Meaning of Faith and Nembutsu in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism and in my Commentary on the Sutra on the Buddha of Infinite Life[1], everything you need to know about the Primal Vow, faith (entrusting) and Nembutsu, so please read those instructions carefully. 

All parts of this present book, every word and explanation are intended to help you focus exclusively on Amida Buddha and remember Him in all aspects of your daily life. Although it is dedicated to the Sangha of Amidaji International Temple, I hope that non-members will also find it useful. No initiation or empowerment are needed to follow the liturgies and instructions presented here, so feel free to pick and choose what you like. 

In the book you will find all our liturgies and hymns with phonetic transcriptions and English translations as well as useful advices on how to worship Amida Buddha, how to arrange an altar, how to make offerings, how to help non-human beings (hungry ghosts, bardo beings, animals, etc) and many other useful instructions.

May all beings accept the salvation offered by Amida Buddha, entrust to Him and say His Name in faith and gratitude!
