I just came across your very informative site here and saw that you have a copy of Dr. Corless´s dissertation and wondered if I could get a copy. Perhaps you can email me on this?

Probably the monks really did recite in tens of thousands of times! I remember, on a visit to Mt. Hiei, our tour group heard a Tendai monk, who was doing the jogyo-zanmai practice, repeating Nembutsu every 10 minutes or so. So I imagine, even in the Japanese Pure Land schools, that they probably had debates on how often one should recite the Nembutsu. Fortunately for us, our recitation of Nembutsu should be spontaneous, with the thought of Amida.<br /><br />Gassho,<br />YuinenJeanette Yuinen Shinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712459960189461740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716969044502224836.post-42680548036719565542010-06-18T06:42:31.825-07:002010-06-18T06:42:31.825-07:00I think the ten recitations is like the 84,000 dif...I think the ten recitations is like the 84,000 different methods, just a number to get a point across. I don't see it as being a literal instruction. I agree that without shinjin, it is just sound, not true Nembutsu. <br /><br />In Oneness,<br />ShinyoMichael Shinyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758437690393254012noreply@blogger.com
