The True and Real World of Salvation
Salvation Based On "Bhuda-centered Power" Print E-mail

The way of “self-centered effort” is open only to those who are able to perform all the rigorous religious practices prescribed, but the way of “Buddha-centered power” is open both to those who sense their great evil nature (their self-centeredness) as well as those who are unable to perform difficult practices. That is, the Way of “Buddha-centered power” is open to good persons as well as evil persons, to the elderly as well as the young, to females as well as males, to monks as well as laypersons, to the married as well as the unmarried ? all are saved impartially by the power of Amida Buddha’s Primal Vow.

The only reason the Venerable Master entered married life is because the Way of “Buddha-centered power” is what it is. Further, it can be said that he married in order to concretely demonstrate that all - including the married ? are impartially saved by that teaching.
