In my paper I wish to discuss Shinran's idea of The Fulfillment of Vow. Shinran states,
because they have arisen through the fulfillment of Vows of great compassion, they are called true fulfilled buddha and land. (“The Collected Works of SHINRAN Volume I”, Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha, 1997, P. 177. 9-10)
Furthermore, Shinran states,
In the pure fulfilled land of the Great vow, grade and level are irrelevant. (“The Collected Works of SHINRAN Volume I”, Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha, 1997, P. 114. 26-27)
In these words we can find Shinran making clear that the fulfilled land is the world at equality. How did Shinran demonstrate the world of equality in the fulfilled land? Therefore I considered the problem of time in the fulfillment of Vows.
