Prince Shotoku, having paid respects to Shinran Shonin, said, 'I pay homage to the Great Compassionate Amida Buddha. Those who come to propagate the wonderful teachings in the next life will assuredly attain supreme enlightenment within the five defilements and the evil world.' Therefore, it is clear that the Patriarch Shinran Shonin is an incarnation of Amida Nyorai." ◎"On the night of February 9th, 1256, around 4 AM, Ren'i-bo, a disciple close to the Saint, received a revelation. In a dream, Prince Shotoku, having paid respects to Shinran Shonin, said, 'I pay homage to the Great Compassionate Amida Buddha. You have come to this world to propagate the wonderful teachings, and within this world of five defilements and evil, you will surely lead people to attain the highest enlightenment (You are Amida Buddha. I revere and worship you. You have come to this world to spread the precious teachings of Buddhism, and through these teachings, you will surely lead the people of this world, filled with defilement and impurity, to attain the highest enlightenment).' Therefore, it is clear and without doubt that Shinran Shonin is an incarnation of Amida Buddha." 【Size】 28.5 x 46cm (Painting) 85.5 x 61cm (Overall) ※Overall size is from edge to edge of the mounting.
