2014 Annual Traning
In December 1935, Shinjo Ito and his wife Tomoji
enshrined at their home an Achala image.
Achala is known in Buddhism as a figure that gives us
an immovable determination to move forward.
The couple started a severe Buddhist training at the 1936 winter.
This was to polish their altruistic nature,
so they could help more and more people.
Just after this training they embarked in the religious path,
and this is how Shinnyo-en started. It’s been almost eighty years since then.
The Winter Training is a chance to revisit
the origins of our Buddhist community.
And with this, touch the great compassion of all Buddhas
and start the new year full steam ahead!
Walking and practicing together. Everybody in one heart.
Here it comes, the 2014 Annual Training!
