Thought for Thu, 25 Feb 2010

In the Seizan Pure Land denomination founded by Honen's disciple Shoku,
it is believed that there are two types of Birth:
1) the spiritual Birth accomplished in this life when one feels
secure that when one dies one will pass forever into the Pure
Land (jojakkodo), and
2) the actual passage into the Pure Land immediately upon one's
death (raisejodo).
