AMIDA DHARMA, Rev Josho Adrian Cirlea

Le Bouddhisme Jodo Shinshu ou Amida Dharma est le chemin vers le Nirvana (l'Illumination Parfaite) par la foi en Bouddha Amida. Ce chemin a été enseigné par le Bouddha Shâkyamuni (le Bouddha historique) et a par la suite été transmis à notre époque par une longue série de maîtres et d'enseignants parmi lesquels je mentionne Shinran Shonin (1173-1262), le fondateur de cette école au Japon et Rennyo Shonin ( 1415-1499), le restaurateur.

Les mots "Jodo Shinshu" signifient "École Véritable de la Terre Pure" et "Dharma" signifie l'enseignement. Amida Dharma est l'enseignement sur le salut inconditionnel offert par Amida Buddha. Avec l'aide de ce Bouddha appelé Amida, nous sommes nés dans Sa Terre Pure (Sa sphère d'influence) après la mort où nous atteignons l'Illumination Parfaite (Nirvana).

Ce livre représente l'essence de l'enseignement Bouddhiste Jodo Shinshu tel qu'il est enseigné au temple d'Amidaji et dans notre Sangha internationale. Son étude est indispensable à tout adepte. Si quelqu'un ne peut pas le lire, il lui sera lu par le prêtre ou l'un des collègues du Dharma.

Amida Dharma contient les connaissances minimales requises pour un membre d'Amidaji.

Some sayings of Nagarjuna on emptiness and Buddha nature

Bodhisattva Nagarjuna, the 1st Patriarch
of Jodo Shinshu school
Bodhisattva Nagarjuna said in Praise of the Element of Attributes (words in normal brackets are my own and words in special brackets [..] are the words of Master Dolpopa:

“Homage and obeisance to the element of attributes (Buddha nature with its innate qualities),
Definitely dwelling in all sentient beings,
Which if one does not thoroughly know
One wanders in the three existences.

Only Buddhas can see Buddha nature

Hinayana Sravakas
(source of photo here)

All beings have Buddha nature which is the Basis and also the Fruit (the finalization) of the Path. However, even among those who are disciples of the Buddha not all have the same aspiration. Thus, not everyone obtains the fruit of discovering their Buddha nature.                                                                                                                                                      
 In the Queen Srimala Sutra it is said:

The wrong view of nihilistic emptiness


Unfortunately, many nowadays followers are confused by wrong views and deny the existence of individuated Buddhas by misinterpreting ultimate reality or Dharmakaya of Dharma nature as some kind of nihilistic emptiness in which nothing exists. They think that when one attains Enlightenment he goes into some kind of extinction when in fact, at that moment only illusions and blind passions disappear and go extinct, thus allowing for true reality to be revealed. Simply stated, it is like waking up from a dream and realizing we are not the person in the dream and that the reality to which we were awakened to (Buddha nature/ultimate Dharmakaya) is the true reality with real qualities unlike the false appearances of the dream.

What did Shinran mean by "shinjin (faith) is Buddha nature"?

The crest of Amidaji. The eight petal
lotus represents the eight elements of faith
(shinjin)
and the eight precepts of faith
I heard some people misinterpreting the saying used by Shinran; “shinjin is Buddha nature” as to mean that shinjin (faith) actually means to believe in the existence of Buddha nature. Of course, Shinran accepted the existence of Buddha nature as He was quoting a lot from Mahaparinirvana Sutra and other sutras were Shakyamuni teaches about it. However, this was not his intention when he said that “great shinjin”  or “great faith” is Budha nature.
First let’s see how he said that:
