Our sect, called "Shinshiu," literally,

founded by Shinran Shonin, teaches
the doctrine of help from another"
Now what is the power of anoth.
err 1t is the great power Of Anita
Buddha. Anita means "boundless."
and ii Is believed that the life and
light OF Buddha are both perfect; also
that other Buddhas obtained their
state of Buddhaship by the help of
Anita Buddha. Therefore Anita Bud.
dha Is called the chief of the Buddhas.
Anita Buddha always exercises his
boundless mercy upon all creatures
and shows a great desire to help and
influence all people who rely on him
to complete all merits and be reborn
into Paradise (Nirvana).

Buddha there is no need of any power
of self help, but need only to keep his
mercy in heart and invoke his name In
order to remember him. These dolngs
are called thanksgiving for salva
