Saint Bennei Yamazaki was an eminent religious leader of Jodo Shu during theMeiji and Taisho eras. He was the founder of the Komyo principle, in which we receive the Light of the Most Wise and the Most Compassionate Amida Buddha by devoting ourselves whole-heartedly to the recitation of Nenbutu.
He emphasized that the Amida Buddha was our Great Parental Source: Bennei’s first unique viewpoint is that we all are children of the Amida Buddha, called Mioya (Dharma, the truth of the universe), and the second is that we must develop spirituality to receive Hikari by the grace of Mioya. The Recitation of Nenbutu means not separating from the Amida Buddha and always remembering him with spiritual correspondence. The Amida Buddha is always with us, wherever we are.
Saint Bennei comforted and encouraged us, saying that spirituality would gradually found in spiritual and honorable personalities.
