報恩講セミナー Hōonkō Seminar
Fri Nov. 22 – Sun Nov. 24, 2024 (Starting Fri Nov. 22, 2:00 pm)
Veranstaltungssprache: Englisch
Organisiert von der EKŌ-Gemeinschaft der Europäischen Shin-Buddhisten.

Speaker: Dr. ARAI Toshikazu (Professor Emeritus, Sōai University, Ōsaka)
Theme: „Amida Buddha and the Pure Land“
In discussing Shinran’s teaching, we fre-quently mention Amida Buddha and Amida’s Pure Land, confident that we know what we are talking about. However, since these terms are at the core of Shin Buddhism, it is important to think of what they actually mean to us. The purpose of the seminar is not to come to a unified definition, but to think about and discuss the meaning of these terms. During the sessions, the speaker will sometimes refer to his translation of Shinran’s Saihō-Shinan-shō (The Path to the Pure Land), but those who do not have a copy can rely on the seminar materials that will be provided.

The lectures are free to the public. Those who wish to have meals with other participants should inform us by Nov. 20, 2024 and pay the following: Sat Nov. 23, Lunch: €15.
