What We Have Been Given in Shinran's Teachings

Rev. Ron Miyamura of the Midwest Buddhist Temple Provides Ho Onko Message

For our HO ONKO (Shinran Shonin Memorial) Service, Rev. Ron Miyamura of the Midwest Buddhist Temple provides an appreciation of the unique concepts and contributions of the founder of Jodo Shinshu or Shin Buddhism. For the full Ho Onko service, with presiding minister Rev. Dr. Kenji Akahoshi, please see video posted on same date. Kenji Sensei provides comment and leads us in chanting the sutra Sambujo (Three Respectful Callings) as well as the gatha Shoshin Nembutsu Ge, or Shoshinge, plus Wasan. The gatha was written by Shinran himself to elevate understanding about the recitation of the name of Amida Buddha..
