Editing Shinran (section)

==Names==
Shinran's birthname was Matsuwakamaro. In accordance with Japanese customs, he has also gone by other names, including Hanen, Shakku and Zenshin, and then finally Shinran, which was derived by combining the names of Seshin ([[Vasubandhu]] in Japanese) and Donran ([[Tan-luan|Tanluan]]’s name in Japanese). His posthumous title was Kenshin Daishi.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Shinran-Japanese-Buddhist-philosopher | title=Shinran &#124; Japanese Buddhist philosopher &#124; Britannica }}</ref> For a while, Shinran also went by the name Fujii Yoshizane.<ref>Young Man Shinran: A Reappraisal of Shinran's life.
