Ji-shū (時宗, lit. time sect) is one of four schools belonging to the Pure Land within Japanese Buddhism. The other three are Yūzū Nenbutsu, Jōdo-shū ("the Pure Land School") and Jōdo Shinshū ("the True Pure Land School"). The school has around 500 temples and 3,400,000 followers. Ji-shū means "school of time"[1] and the name is derived from its central teaching of reciting Nembutsu at regular intervals.[2]
In the general classification of Buddhism in Japan, the Jōdo-shū, the Jōdo Shinshu, the Ji-shu and the Yuzu Nembutsu shu are collectively classified into the lineage of Jōdo Buddhism. (Jōdo kei, 浄土系)[3][4] Shōjōkō-ji (清浄光寺), a temple located in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, and serves as the headquarters of the sect today.[5] [6]
