[During the Shodaigyo ceremony, the silent meditation of] Joshingyo may be more accurately expressed as Jo (purification) Shin (mind/heart) Shin (physical body) Gyo (practice) or “the purification of the mind/heart and body”. The practice of Joshingyo is the best practice for harmonizing and purifying the mind/heart and the body; it is also a superior practice for health even if separated from the practice of Shodaigyo (chanting the Odaimoku).
