In the January of this year, and at the rate of one session every two weeks, we began examining a series of Sixteen Letters written by Rev Zuikin Inagaki, sent to Jack Austin back in the mid 1970's. By September we reached Letter Ten and we are on scheduled to reach Letter Sixteen in time for a break beginning 11th of December 2024.
Letters One to Ten can be viewed online @ http://www.nembutsu.info/horai/index.htm. Letters Eleven to Sixteen will be published exclusively on this website, and added to our DHARMA ARCHIVE page at forrtnightly intervals.

On the 8th of January 2025 we will begin a new series of programmed studies, concentrating this time upon the Essays chapter in The Unhindered Path: Rumination on Shin Buddhism,by Rev John Paraskevopoulos.

Throughout this course, scheduled to end on the 11th of June 2025, the text relating to each study session will be uploaded to our DHARMA ARCHIVE page at fortnightly intervals.
