Welcome to the
Manitoba Buddhist Temple
We are a group of Canadians who are
followers of the Jodo Shinshu "Shin" sect of Pureland
Buddhism.
The community is joined together by the gladness of
receiving the shinjin of Amida Buddha's Vow to embrace
selflessly all beings with wisdom and mercy, without a
trace of discrimination or prejudice, and that is, with
no exceptions.
As Shin Buddhists, we seek to be humble and sincere in
words and deeds, to be responsible citizens of our
society and to share with others our special Shin
Buddhist teachings. Understanding fully, the principle of
causality, we do not practice petitionary prayer or magic
and we do not depend on astrology or superstitions.
We hope that this
site will give you a brief understanding of what our sect
of Buddhism is all about. We wish you well on your quest
for knowledge.
The
best part of ourselves is each other.
The best part of spiritual awakening is
Other Power.
--------------------------
"The fruit of silence is
shinjin. The fruit of shinjin is nembutsu. The fruit
of nembutsu is loving kindness.
The fruit of loving kindness is service. The fruit of
service is peace. The fruit of peace is
silence."
In an Asian tradition,
families take turns ringing the bell to welcome
