- 소개/요약A discussion of nenbutsu and meditation serves to remind us of something that is very strange: that nenbutsu and meditation, or devotion and contem-plation, are usually thought of as exclusionary activities by Jōdo Shinshū Buddhists on the one hand, as well as by Western followers of “meditative” forms of Buddhism such as Zen, Tibetan sects, and vipassanā traditions on the other hand. While this state of affairs may seem quite normal in the modern-day versions of these traditions, in fact it is quite a peculiar way of thinking about Buddhist practice. For most of the history of Buddhism, “devotional” practices like prayer, invocation, and offerings have not been at odds or even very distinctly separated from “contemplative” practices such as meditation, sutra copying, and sutra recitation. Often it is even difficult to determine whether a practice is devotional or contemplative.1
