Most excellent....the life of Shinran should be the model for our lives. I wish the follow-up videos in this series were available in English. Meanwhile, for anyone interested, I have made some initial crude attempts to share a "Shin Buddhist Faith" perspective on my YouTube "channel". Namu Amida Buts!

Namu Amida Butsu. It has been 1 year since I first said the Nembutsu and everyday I try to walk the middle path. Becoming a member of the church has brought me peace I never thought was possible. It was also the easiest choice I've ever made. And to make my happiness complete, my husband wanted to join also. Peace to all, in Gassho. Please upload more is you have it.
