Shinnyo-en USA Chicago

Shinnyo-en is an international Buddhist community founded on the ancient wisdom and love embodied in the Buddha's teachings. Building on twenty-five centuries of tradition, Shinnyo Buddhism teaches laypeople how to use each day as an opportunity to connect with others and seek enlightenment.
The Buddhist term shinnyo denotes both buddhahood (spiritual awakening) and the nature of reality; en refers to a boundless garden or open space. Shinnyo-en is a place for people to discover and develop the buddha, or awakened nature, within themselves through altruistic Buddhist practice.
Shinnyo Buddhists promote the values of peaceful coexistence and cooperation through the works of philanthropic foundations, and place great value on the contributions that each individual can make toward life on our planet. Everyone's spiritual journey is unique, and Shinnyo-en offers a diverse environment where we can all grow and cultivate their aspiration for enlightenment.
