English: He was the successor of Hongan-ji Temple, but he died of illness before his father, so the ninth head of the temple and his younger brother, Jitsunyo, succeeded in the position.
Japanese: 本願寺の法嗣とされていたが、父に先立って病死し、第9世は弟の実如が継いだ。
English: When Junnyo was born, his father was simply the eldest child born out of wedlock of the seventh head of the Temple, Zonnyo, so the Hongan-ji Temple fell upon bad times and it was just a branch temple of Shoren-in Temple, which was under the umbrella of Enryaku-ji Temple.
Japanese: 彼が誕生したとき、父は7世存如の庶長子の身分でしかなく、本願寺自体も零落して延暦寺傘下の青蓮院末寺の存在でしかなかった。
English: He lost his mother when he was 14 years old, and he entered into priesthood at age 17 under the supervision of daisojo (a Buddhist priest of the highest order) Jitsusuke (実助); he was able to do so because he was the adopted son of Katsumitsu HINO, who was the Soke (the head family or house) of the Otani family.

Japanese: 寛正6年（1465年）、本願寺を継承した蓮如と本寺である延暦寺の対立から大谷本願寺が破壊されるという寛正の法難が発生する。
English: In the following year, 1466, although Rennyo decided that Junnyo would be the successor of the temple in the event of an emergency, this decision caused an issue when Rennyo surrendered to Enryaku-ji Temple in the following year.
Japanese: 翌文正元年（1466年）、蓮如は万が一に備えて順如を後継にする事を決めるが、翌年蓮如が延暦寺に降伏したとき、この事が問題となる。
English: Enryaku-ji Temple demanded that Rennyo retire and that Junnyo should leave the temple, since they were concerned about Junnyo succeeding to Hongan-ji Temple and taking back political power in the future, given Junnyo's connection with the Imperial Palace and Muromachi bakufu.
Japanese: 延暦寺は朝廷や幕府との繋がりのある順如が後継になった場合、その後ろ盾で本願寺が復活する事を恐れて蓮如の引退と同時に順如の廃嫡を求めたのである。
English: Thus Rennyo had no choice but to accept the demands of the Enryaku-ji Temple (of course, it is obvious that this demand was ignored when Hongan-ji Temple regained its political power).
Japanese: 当時の蓮如は一旦はこれに応じざるを得なかった（勿論、本願寺が再興されるとなし崩しに破棄されたのは言うまでもない）。
English: In 1469, Junnyo persuaded the Onjo-ji Temple, which was declining in power but still strong enough to go against Enryaku-ji Temple, to build Kensho-ji Temple at Otsu Minami Bessho.
Japanese: 文明_(日本)元年（1469年）、順如は衰えたりとはいえ、依然として延暦寺に対抗するだけの勢力を有していた園城寺を説得して、大津南別所に顕証寺を建立する。
English: After Shinran's sozo (founder's statue) was enshrined at Kensho-ji Temple, Junnyo started negotiating as a chief priest with the Imperial Palace and the bakufu in order to control believers (of the Jodo Shinshu Sect of Buddhism) in Kinai (the provinces surrounding Kyoto and Nara), as a chief priest to become the representative of his father, Rennyo, who had left Kinai for the propagation of the Hokuriku region.
Japanese: 親鸞の祖像はひとまず同寺に安置され、順如は住持として北陸布教のために畿内を離れた父・蓮如の名代として畿内門徒の統率と朝廷・幕府との交渉にあたった。
English: Soon after Rennyo settled in Yoshizaki Gobo, Junnyo frequently visited this place in order to consult on matters of policy.
Japanese: やがて、蓮如が吉崎御坊に落ち着けると、順如もこの地をしばしば訪れて今後の方針を協議している。
English: However, in 1475 when the conflict between the believers of Kaga Province and the shugo (Japanese territorial lord as provincial constable) Masachika TOGASHI became serious, Junnyo went to Yoshizaki and took Rennyo and his family out to Kawachi Province, although Renso SHIMOTSUMA was opposed to it.
Japanese: だが、文明7年（1475年）、加賀国門徒と守護富樫政親の対立が深刻化すると、順如自らが吉崎に乗り込み、下間蓮崇の反対を押しのけて蓮如と家族を連れて河内国へと連れ出した。
English: In 1481, after Junnyo was involved in the internal problems of the Bukko-ji School, who were in the same Jodo Shinshu, he was made the executive of the believers of the same religious school, such as Kyogo (later renamed Renkyo) in order to be accepted by Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: 文明13年（1481年）、順如は同じ浄土真宗の仏光寺派の内紛に関与して経豪（蓮教）ら同派幹部・門徒の本願寺受け入れを実現した。
English: However, at about that time he became ill and died at age 42 in Kensho-ji Temple, so he had no chance to go to Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple, which wasn't completed before 1483.
Japanese: ところが、このころから病気がちとなり、文明15年（1483年）前年に完成した山科本願寺に入ることなく、顕証寺にて42歳の生涯を閉じた。
