Japanese Gōtan-e Special Service 2023.05.21

Gōtan-e is the special servoce when we observe Shinran Shōnin’s birth. Shinran’s life and teachings represent one of the most significant developments in the history of Buddhism. Before then only the privileged and priests received spiritual instruction. Shinran Shōnin taught that even the poor rice farmer is embraced by the Buddha's infinite light and compassion, and the truth of the Dharma and shinjin awakening are accessible to everyone without discrimination.
