Mandara (pantheon) c.1700 Tibet, Qing dynasty (1644-1911)
Hosted by Rev. Dr. Kenji Akahoshi
A Contemporary Interpretation of Amida Buddha and the Nembutsu
Ancient mythology and an unconscious comparison with Christianity have made the essence of Shin unclear. Our current knowledge of science, psychology, and spirituality enables us to share the deep spiritual meaning of traditional teachings to be relevant in our lives. Actively engaging in Shin practice will reveal a logical and practical benefit that brings clarity and joy.
This event will be held live via Zoom on June 19th at 2pm Pacific Time (PT).
The Zoom link will be emailed out the Wednesday before the Live Event, and then again 15 minutes before the event on that Friday.
