Our central focus is on student learning and the practical integration of the Shin Buddhist teachings. To learn about our students’ experiences and acquired understanding of the Buddhist teachings please enter our Shin Buddhist Spirituality web site. This unique site offers a glimpse into the world of Shin religious experience through the words of participants of the New England Institute of Buddhist Studies’ (NEIBS) courses, seminars and workshops since the year 2006. 

The connecting web site covers a number of topics from practice, religious insights, historical perspectives and opinion from a non-academic and personal viewpoint. The format is generally simple, personal and direct that truly cuts into the core of Shin Buddhist religious life. Shin Buddhist Spirituality will help you explore the essence of the Shin religion

as practice in North America from the words and

experiences of ordinary people who continue to deepen

their awareness, faith and purpose of life within the

embrace of Boundless Compassion.
