This presentation and discussion is part of the “Topics of examination for those who want to become lay teachers or monks and nuns in Amidaji branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism”. Rev Kosho Arana, the main speaker here, has already passed the examination and received the monk ordination in our Amidaji sangha on September, 2023. By listening to all the videos in the playlist related with the examinations you will acquire very good knowledge of the general Buddhist teaching and the specific Jodo Shinshu doctrines. As you can see in these videos, Amidaji has well prepared members and it’s a team work, with people capable to continue our Dharma mission to spread the true, orthodox Jodo Shinshu Buddhist teaching.

Juseige – Hymns of Repetitions of the Vows, is a fragment from the Larger Sutra and represents the words said by Dharmakara Bodhisattva, the future Amida Buddha, after proclaiming His 48 Vows. In the lines following the verses of Junirai it is said, “As soon as Bhikṣu Dharmakara spoke those verses, the entire earth quaked in six ways and a rain of wonderful flowers fell from heaven, scattering everywhere. Spontaneous music was heard and a voice in the sky said, ‘Surely you will attain highest, perfect Enlightenment.’” ●● doshi: GA GON CHO SE GAN I have made vows, unrivaled in all the world; doon: HIS-SHI MU JO DO I shall certainly reach the unsurpassed Way.

This presentation and discussion is part of the “Topics of examination for those who want to become lay teachers or monks and nuns in Amidaji branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism”. Kosho Arana, the main speaker here, is a candidate for monkhood (priesthood). By listening to all the videos in the playlist related with the examinations you will acquire very good knowledge of the general Buddhist teaching and the specific Jodo Shinshu doctrines. As you can see in these videos, Amidaji has well prepared members and it’s a team work, with people capable to continue our Dharma mission to spread the true, orthodox Jodo Shinshu Buddhist teaching.
