Shuin (朱印) are stamps, and the resulting impressions, primarily given to visitors at shrines and temples. They are also known as goshuin (御朱印), a term of respect. Reasons for Receiving Goshuin Goshuin are proof of a connection with the deities and Buddhas of each shrine and temple, and also a testament to the accumulated, precious practice. Therefore, when a person who has received goshuin passes away, it is said that placing the goshuin in the coffin will guide them to the Pure Land. Also, when someone other than the person who received the goshuin passes away, it is said that the kind feelings of the person offering the goshuin will be conveyed to the deities and Buddhas, who will then protect them. Please keep your goshuin safe until that time comes.
