Synopsis
Excerpt from Japanese Buddhism
But while the Jodo sect thushalted at the position iof faith and works, it was not long before a new sect arose which planted itself squarely upon the doctrine of salva tion by faith alone. This was the Shin, or True, sect, which sect represents the crowning manifesta tion of Buddhism in Japan. The sect is a sort of Protestantism in relation to the older sects, and its founder, Shinran, is a sort of a Luther. The soteriological views of Buddhism experienced a revolution. Amida, the object of the faith upon which this and the previous sects built, is a Buddha-to-be according to most scriptures, according to some a Buddha already. Practically, among the adherents of the Jodo and the Shin sects he has transplanted the original Buddha, and occupies the highest place in their pantheon.
