GOTAN-E celebrates the birth of Shinran Shonin (1173-1262), the founder of Shin
Buddhism.
The life and teachings of Shinran Shonin constitute one of the most significant
developments in the history of Buddhism. It was he who discovered a path which
ensured that the treasures of the Dharma would be accessible to all people without
discrimination.
This May celebration is also called Fujimatsuri, or Wisteria Festival, after the
purple flower which represents our sect. Though the flowers grow high on
intertwined branches of a tall and sturdy tree, unlike other flowers which stand up
when in full blossom, the wisteria hangs down, as if in humility.
