About Us
Shin Buddhism
Shinran Shonin’s Teachings are firmly based upon the teachings of Gautama (Sakyamuni) Buddha. Although Shinran lived some 1400 -1500 years after the death of the Buddha, it was his clear intent to teach the essence of the Buddha’s teachings to all people. Let us first discuss briefly the teachings of Buddhism from the time of Sakyamuni Buddha up to Shinran.
