Jodo-shu is a type of Buddhism. It comes from Japan and was started by a man named Honen. Honen wanted to make Buddhism easier for people to understand and practice.
In Jodo-shu, people believe that they can reach enlightenment by believing in Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha is a special kind of Buddha who promises to help people reach enlightenment if they believe in him.
People in Jodo-shu also believe that they can reach enlightenment in their next life. This is called rebirth. They think that if they believe in Amida Buddha and do good things, they will be reborn in a better place in their next life.
Jodo-shu is different from other types of Buddhism because it focuses on Amida Buddha and rebirth. It's also a type of Buddhism that anyone can practice, no matter their social status or gender.
