Our Shin Buddhist Spirituality web site offers a glimpse into the world of Shin religious experience through the words of the Buddhist Faith Fellowship (BFF) friends who were all participants in the courses, seminars and workshops of the New England Institute of Buddhist Studies (NEIBS) since the year 2006. NEIBS helps facilitate and deepen students’ and teachers’ religious awareness, knowledge and practice.

 

This site covers a number of topics from practice, religious insights, historical perspectives and opinion from a non-academic and personal viewpoint. The format is generally simple, personal and direct that truly cuts into the core of Shin Buddhist religious life. Shin Buddhist Spirituality will help you explore the essence of the Shin religion as practice in North America from the words and experiences of ordinary people who continue to deepen their awareness, faith and purpose of life within the embrace of Boundless Compassion.
