Nembutsu and the Liberation from Suffering

At the root of Jodo Shinshu is Name-calling, uttering the Nembutsu.

It is about gratefulness to Amida Buddha. In uttering the Nembutsu it is not the practitioner but Amida calling through hir.

Apart from the religious aspects, Jodo Shinshu is non-denominational in that all can benefit from seeing prayer or spiritual worship as the High Power calling/working through you.

This also goes for dance, especially related to spiritual activity, and moderate social drinking.

For the human spirit derives benefit in seeking liberation from human suffering in a manner that benefits all.
