Welcome to the Manitoba Buddhist Temple
We are a group of Canadians who are followers of the Jodo Shinshu "Shin" sect of Pureland Buddhism.
A community 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.
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.
Interested in Buddhism, but not sure where to start? Would you like to ask questions about Buddhism, but not sure who to ask?The Manitoba Buddhist Temple invites all those interested in exploring and learning what Buddhism has to offer with an introduction on Saturday, March 1, at 1pm. The session will be led by Sensei James Martin. Sensei Martin was born and raised in rural Manitoba and encountered Buddhism while travelling in various parts of Asia. He has trained and studied Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in Kyoto, Japan and Berkeley, California. Most recently, he was the resident minister of the Calgary Buddhist Temple until his retirement in 2019.
