We conclude with the incense offering of Oshoko as an expression of gratitude and reverence for the teachings.

Afterwhich, we will gather for a light lunch and snacks, refreshments, and occasional open discussion.

Beginning September 8th, weโ€™re excited to offer a new Shin Buddhist Study Class - Tuesday evenings at 6:00 PM at the Spokane Buddhist Temple.

Together, weโ€™ll be reading and discussing Rev. Dr. Taitetsu Unnoโ€™s beloved book, "๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฑ๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€๐—บ: ๐—•๐—ถ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฅ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ ๐—š๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ".

Rev. Unno has a wonderful way of bringing the teachings of Jลdo Shinshลซ into the realities of everyday life, our struggles, relationships, disappointments, joys, and ordinary moments that shape who we are.

Rather than simply studying Buddhist ideas, weโ€™ll explore what these teachings can mean in our own lives.

Each week weโ€™ll read a portion of the book, talk about the teachings together, ask questions, and learn from one another.

You do not need to have any previous knowledge of Buddhism or Jลdo Shinshลซ to participate. Whether you have practiced for many years, are new to Buddhism, or are simply curious about the Shin Buddhist path, you are warmly welcome.

Come as you are. Bring your questions, your experiences, and your curiosity.

Sometimes the Dharma does not turn us into something completely different. Instead, it helps us discover how even the โ€œbits of rubbleโ€ of our ordinary lives can become something precious.
