The Buddha's Call to Awaken

by Monshu Koshin Ohtani

"For Shinran, it is through awakening to our true nature as deeply ignorant, passion-ridden foolish beings in a personal and existential way that opens the door to our enlightenment and the world of equality and mutual human responsibilities that can solve or mitigate our problems. Shin Buddhism is a teaching of transformation whereby broken shards are transformed to gold. Monshu Ohtani, through his work, interprets many significant aspects of Shinran's thought, highlighting Shinran's distinctive contribution not only for the religious world, but also in society."
