I'm a Canadian-born Caucasian who became a Shin Buddhist in the 1980's, and later became an assistant minister of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. At my web-site you will find a Canadian interpretation of Shin Buddhism that is built around gender equality, democratic decision-making, teamwork and socially-engaged Buddhism.
The founder of Shin Buddhism was Shinran Shonin, who lived in Japan from 1173 to 1263. Shin Buddhism is Japanese Pure Land Buddhism. Please click here to find out more.
