While other traditions emphasize various practices and meditations, the focus of Shin Buddhism is one's everyday life. Therefore, one's family life, work, school, or recreation are all opportunities to listen to and reflect on the Dharma. Focus on the ego side of man . Although we don't want to admit it, we all have an ego, and sometimes this ego of ours causes us lots of problems. The Shin path is to see and awaken to one's ego, which opens up the world of non-ego.
Compassion has no boundaries.
Shin Buddhism focuses on the compassion aspect of enlightenment. Shinran meets the truth of enlightenment as Great Compassion. Great Compassion knows no bounds in ethnicity, intelligence, or physical capability. In the future, I hope that people of all backgrounds will be able to share in the Shin Buddhist path. Like the taiko concert the other evening, someday I hope that we will all feel moved together, as our hearts resonate with the same beat, with the same tempo, as we share in the universal truth of Namuamidabutsu.
