Shinnyo teaching is focusing on the acceptance of all phenomenal occurrences including personal relationships through the daily life as an important virtue and a practice for the spiritual enlightenment. This practice is based on the acceptance from all aspects around followers, occurring through their mentally or physically. Therefore, these practice believed as a way to approach to their buddha nature by the practice of the acceptance. The characteristics of the Shinnyo teaching is to relieve the followers from the suffering from the delusion through 'Bakudaiju' (spiritual power of acceptance which is accepted by the Shinnyo spiritual world) and Sessin training, a kind of meditation, which is unique meditation training in Shinnyoen developed by Master Shinjo, the founder of Shinnyo teaching. The practice or training in Shinnyoen is focusing to bless for his/her ancestors' comfortable rest as well as to relieve the delusion of the followers, and finally support to find out his/her buddha nature. However, Shinnyo teaching is rather emphasized a strict practice of altruism, and pray to be purified their endowed with unwanted relations. Basic idea of Shinnyo practice is to develop the buddha nature with altruism, and suggested as the aim to become a spiritual medium to serve Sessin training for the followers to develop their buddha nature as well as to have a chance to be purified himself through meditation services. Sessin training is emphasized its practice either in the temple or at home or society through their whole life. Therefore, the followers can lead their daily life with a sprit of buddha all the time and let them to practice to purify their karmas. The spiritual word from Sessin seems like a gourd of water for the conventional pump, and therefore the followers should continue to pump their buddha nature from their unconsciousness out, as the water can be pumped out from the earth.
