A few of the eleven people that participated in our last Shōshinge Distance Learning Course have expressed their desire to go through it all over again – and so commencing 1st of May 2017 we will do just that, but in an adjusted form. Previously the course included breaks for summer and Xmas but because some participants reported that they ‘lost momentum’ during these long breaks, the 17 tutorial sessions with set reading assignments and audio clips for chanting practice will this time around be emailed to students once every two weeks continuously up until 11th Dec 2017.
Enrolment fee £100 - includes the postal delivery of the following publications:
► The Collected Works of Shinran, Volume I and II
► Shinshū Gongyōshū – Collection of Shinshu Services, published by the IABC.
► Jōdo Service Book. Revised Edition, published by the Hongwanji International Centre.
► Participants will also be emailed Rev Hisao Inagaki’s The Way of Nembutsu-Faith, A Commentary on Shinran’s Shoshinge Hymn of True Faith and Nembutsuin five PDF files which accumulate into the unabridged text of this seminal piece which is actually now out of print and becoming more and more difficult to obtain.
PLUS – As a Dharma gift from Chomon House and the Buddhist Churches of America (who are helping us to develop the Shin Shop @ www.chomonhouse.org) that might encourage participants into ongoing self-directed study and chanting practice of the complete cannon of Shinran’s Wasan’s; all participants will also be sent a free of charge copy of …
