Pacific World<br />

Through the daily performance <strong>of</strong> these practices in the three modes<br />

<strong>of</strong> action we will be able to realize shinjin, which is the experience <strong>of</strong> encountering<br />

Amida Buddha. And, through the repetition and deepening<br />

<strong>of</strong> that experience, we will be able to generate new and dynamic human<br />

lives. This represents the entirety <strong>of</strong> practice on the path to enlightenment<br />

in Jōdo Shinshū.<br />
