ANNOUNCEMENTas of August 12, 2008 The JSCC Office would like to announce that, due to increasing popularity of the course, it has now received the maximum number of applications for the September 2008 enrollment. Unfortunately, further applications can no longer be accepted for the course beginning September 1, 2008. Because it is necessary to keep the instructor-student ratio at a quality level, we must now request that students who wish to sign up for the course beginning September 1, 2008, join in the spring when the same course will be offered again. Please check the course website and send in your application during the period from November 1, 2008 to February 15, 2009. The same 2-year course will start up again from the beginning on March 1, 2009 Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to receiving your future applications! In Gassho JSCC Office

Welcome to Jodo Shinshu Correspondence Course |
|
Almost 800 years have passed since Shinran revealed the teaching of Jodo Shinshu (Shin Buddhism) in Japan, following the path of Sakyamuni and other masters in India, China and Japan. The teaching, with deep reflection on human existence and the realization of dynamic Dharma, has fascinated many people around the world. Thus, the practice of Jodo Shinshu does not remain solely in Japan, but has expanded to Hawaii, North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa. More people are learning about Jodo Shinshu through ministers’ activities, publications and the internet. As one response to their growing interest, we have established a correspondence course providing them, especially those who do not have access to temples nearby, with basic knowledge of Jodo Shinshu.
