The Way of Amidaji branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism

 

This is a very interesting video discussion between some members of Amidaji. It shows how we do things, how we teach Amida Dharma, how we distinguish between true and false, how we accept or refuse membership, etc.

Why Amidaji – the testimony of a member who re-enters our Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Sangha

When somebody enters or re-enters our Sangha he or she must be able to explain in his own words the essentials of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism as we teach it at Amidaji. This is exactly what Kosho Sebastian Arana does in this video while also sharing his experience in other schools and the reasons he chose to return to Amidaji. This discussion was followed by an online kieshiki (refuge ceremony) for Kosho.

biographies of Amidaji members

Here is the story of Koshin Samuel Jacob Weaver who found my books and entrusted himself to Amida Buddha while serving 25 years in jail. I offer teachings and spiritual guidance to anybody, no matter who they are and what they did. Amida is the Buddha of Unhindered Light who reaches the darkest places and darkest minds, embracing and saving everybody without discrimination. Namo Amida Bu

"My name is Samuel Jacob Weaver and I am 24 years of age. Having been asked by Josho Sensei to write an account of my spiritual journey, I will now give a brief overview of the major religious occurrences in my life thus far. I initially intended to give greater detail to specific events, but soon figured that such would be of no benefit. Hence, the brevity of this story.
 
Like most people in the state of Utah, I was raised within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormon Church).
 
When I was a young man my mother and I moved to a small home on the outskirts of Bangalore, India. Having lived in that house for some time, I was exposed to Vaisnava Hinduism and soon began to grow curious regarding the nature of religion, most especially Vedic culture.

No pudes ser un Budista y al mismo tiempo un seguidor de otra religión

translated from English by Juan Sebastian Hincapie Arana

Pregunta: El famoso maestro Thich Nhat Hanh dijo: “Existe la idea errónea de que el budismo es una religión y al Buda se lo adora. El budismo es una práctica, como el yoga, así que puedes ser cristiano y practicar el budismo. Conocí a un sacerdote católico que vive en un monasterio budista en Francia. Me dijo que el budismo lo hace un mejor cristiano, me encanta eso “¿Cuáles son sus pensamientos sobre este asunto?
 
Respuesta: Este es un ejemplo notable de enseñanza falsa y un maestro falso. No importa cuán popular sea entre muchos ignorantes, lo digo de nuevo: ¡esta es una enseñanza falsa y él es un maestro falso!
 
No se puede ser cristiano y budista al mismo tiempo por la sencilla razón de que el cristianismo (y cualquier religión monoteísta) promueve la fe en un dios creador y supremo. El Buda Shakyamuni niega esta idea de un dios creador y supremo. Lee el capítulo "No hay un dios creador supremo en el Buda Dharma" de mi libro La verdadera enseñanza sobre el Buda Amida y su Tierra Pura, que está lleno de citas del Sutra de Baka Brahma.
