There are ten branches of which the two major ones are commonly called <a href="https://www.hongwanji.or.jp/english/" target="_blank">Nishi Hongwanji </a>and Higashi Hongwanji. Their true names are Hompa Hongwanji and Otaniha Hongwanji respectively. There are no marked doctrinal differences between these two branches; the difference is in their historical development. In the rituals there is a slight difference such as in the chanting of the sutras. <br /><br />The teaching of Jodo Shinshu shares with all people a way to mindfully realize the true reality of human existence and to live a fulfilled life, grounded on something more profound and essential than mere happiness or unhappiness, with the guidance of Amida Buddha. <br /><br /></div></div><div id='stacks_out_12' class='stacks_out'><div id='stacks_in_12' class='stacks_in image_stack'> 90<div class='centered_image' > 91 <img class='imageStyle' src='jodoshinshu_files/stacks-image-f8e3073-1200x674.jpg' alt='Stacks Image 13' /> 92</div> 93 94</div></div><div id='stacks_out_14' class='stacks_out'><div id='stacks_in_14' class='stacks_in text_stack'><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11px; ">

The teaching resonated with many people regardless of social status.<br /><br />In its almost 800-year history, Jodo Shinshu has become the most widespread form of Buddhism in Japan. This tradition came to Hawaii and North America in the late 19th century and was sustained initially by Japanese immigrant families. It has grown to include more than 100 temples in the Canada and and the United States. The congregation is also changing and has become more racially diverse. </div></div></div></div> 95 96 </div><!-- End content --> 97 </div><!-- End main content wrapper --> 98 <div id="sidebarBackground"></div> 99<div id="sidebarContainer"><!-- Start Sidebar wrapper --> 100 <div class="sideHeader">The 25th Head Priest OHTANI Kojun</div><!-- Sidebar header --> 101 <div id="sidebar"><!-- Start sidebar content --> 102 <!-- sidebar content such as the blog archive links --> 103 <div class="clearer"></div> 104 <p style="text-align:center;"><img class="imageStyle" alt="gomonshu_kojun_ohtani_2021" src="jodoshinshu_files/gomonshu_kojun_ohtani_2021.jpg" width="170" height="246" /><br /></p><p style="text-align:left;">The position of Monshu is taken by the Hongwanji Head Priest. The Jodo Shinshu tradition is transmitted through the Monshu, who leads the entire Buddhist organization as its spiritual leader.<br /><br />Shinran Shonin’s grandson, Nyoshin, is regarded as the second generation, thus Monshu’s post has since been succeeded by Shinran Shonin’s blood relatives. The present Monshu is the 25th generation, Sennyo Monshu, whose secular name is OHTANI Kojun. As Jodo Shinshu followers, we call him “Gomonshu-sama” with an honorific prefix and suffix.<br /><br />The retired Monshu is referred to as “Zemmon-sama,” which literally means Monshu Emeritus.</p><!-- sidebar content you enter in the page inspector --> 105 </div><!-- End sidebar content --> 106 </div><!-- End sidebar wrapper --> 107 </div><!-- global_width --> 108<div class="clearer"></div> 109 <div id="footer"><!-- Start Footer --> 110 <div class="footer_breadcrumbcontainer"> </div> 111 <p>© JODO SHINSHU BUDDHIST TEMPLES OF CANADA 2023</p> 112 </div><!-- End Footer --> 113</div><!-- End container --> 114 115 <div id="up"><a href="#up"><span><i class="fa fa-angle-up"></i></span></a></div> 116 117<!-- trigger options in multithemes.js --> 118<div id="banner_parallax_on_off" class="settings"></div> 119<div id="menuOpened" class="settings"></div> 120<div id="banner_fade_in" class="settings"></div> 121 122<!-- theme by www.multithemes.com --> 123</body> 124</html>
