大般涅槃経
In 1211 the nembutsu ban was lifted and Shinran was pardoned, but by 1212, Hōnen had died in Kyoto. Shinran never saw Hōnen following their exile. In the year of Hōnen's death, Shinran set out for the Kantō region, where he established a substantial following and began committing his ideas to writing. In 1224 he wrote his most significant book, the "Kyogyoshinsho" ("The True Teaching, Practice, Faith and Attainment of the Pure Land"), which contained excerpts from the Three Pure Land sutras and the "Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra" along with his own commentaries and the writings of the Jodo Shinshu Patriarchs Shinran drew inspiration from.
