We encourage members and friends
to attend the Shin Buddhist Retreat
for the weekend of July 18th - 19th, 2003
at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies in Barre, Mass.
Shin Buddhist Retreat with Dr. Taitetsu Unno is titled
Shin Buddhism: Bits of Rubble Turn Into Gold
The primary goal of Mahayana Buddhism is the transformation called turning delusion into enlightenment. We explore this transformation based on the teachings of Shinran (1173-1263), the founder of Shin Buddhism. The boundless compassion of the Buddha Amida, nonjudgmental and all-embracing, concretely manifested as the Primal Vow, focuses on imperfect, vulnerable and karma-bound beings (likened to bits of rubble) and transforms them into their opposite (gold). $150
