    In this episode, we take a look at how Shin Buddhists can approach the issue of ecumenical work and interfaith dialogue. This will segway into the overarching issue of what the Shin Buddhist religious identity is.
    Is it really sincere to say, "All religions are all getting to the same place anyway," or does meaningful interfaith dialogue require something more from us?

    Significance of the Spiritual Path

    Happy New Year! Today, we will look at some of the basic points of Jodo Shinshu, a school of Pure Land Buddhism. FYI, a couple of head-scratching terms are thrown in there, but hey, what's Buddhism without a few of those!
    In the second half, we will look at a possible Buddhist interpretation of the turbulent times we face. The nembutsu is how we can tap into the selfless humanity embracing all beings. 
    To a hopeful new year! Gassho.

Great content about Shin Buddhism

I just finished listening to all the episodes. I’m a big fan. There is so little audio content out there about Shin Buddhism, so I has really happy to find this podcast. Lots of good information about Shin Buddhism. I learned a lot. Eagerly awaiting new episodes!

Very helpful

I am enjoying Rev. Dr. Miyaji’s podcast. His podcast allows him to expand on fundamental concepts of Shin (Pure Land) Buddhism. He is able to get very technical without losing the lay follower. I also find it helpful that he cites his quotes so that listeners can follow along. I look forward to future episodes.
