Юйэн-бо, автор «Таннисё», предупреждал, что этот текст может быть неправильно
понят теми, кто ещё не готов принять послание Изначального Обета Будды Амиды:
«Не
следует показывать его посторонним».
Об этом же говорил и Мастер Рэннё, который
добавил следующие слова в окончании «Таннисё»:
«Эти строки, толкующие священное писание, очень важны для нашего Учения. Не следует без нужды показывать их тем, кто не обладает кармой добродетели с прошлых жизней».

The Contemplation Sutra[1] was taught in the context of a tragedy in the royal family of Magadha[2]. Master Shan-tao[3] who also wrote a commentary on this sutra, gave a detailed account of what happened. As I don’t have access to a good/useful English translation of his commentary, I quote Rev Hisao Inagaki’s summary of Shan-tao’s explanation:
“Shakyamuni had a
cousin, Devadatta, who was greedy for fame and wealth. Seeing the Buddha
receive many offerings from King Bimbisara, he wanted to take over the
leadership of the sangha. He first learned supernatural power from Ananda,
which he displayed to Prince Ajatasatru;
thus he won the respect of the prince and also received sumptuous offerings
from him. Devadatta then approached Shakyamuni and suggested that the Buddha
retire but was rebuked for his stupidity. Angered by this, he next incited
Ajatasatru to usurp the throne.
Seeing that Ajatasatru hesitated, Devadatta pointed at the prince’s broken little finger and told him the following story.
Todas las partes de este libro, cada palabra y explicación están destinadas a ayudar al lector a concentrarse exclusivamente en el Buda Amida y recordarlo en todos los aspectos de la vida diaria. Aunque está dedicado a la Sangha del Templo Internacional de Amidaji, espero que las personas que no son miembros también lo encuentren útil. No se necesita iniciación o empoderamiento para seguir las liturgias y las instrucciones que se presentan aquí, así que siéntete libre de elegir lo que te guste.
En el libro encontrarás todas nuestras liturgias e himnos con transcripciones fonéticas y traducciones al español así como consejos útiles sobre cómo adorar al Buda Amida, cómo arreglar un altar, cómo hacer ofrendas, cómo ayudar a seres no humanos (fantasmas hambrientos , seres del bardo, animales, etc.) y muchas otras instrucciones útiles.
