Buddhism in the West, including Shin Buddhism, has never had a better opportunity to share the Dharma with a diverse population. Shin Buddhism arrived in America just prior to the turn of the Twentieth Century along with the early Japanese immigrant. This course introduces the Western governing organization of Shin Buddhism, including Buddhist Churches of America in North America, then Hawaii, Canada, Brazil and Germany. Each video was created locally by ministers. We hope you enjoy it and appreciate the global history of Shin Buddhism.
