WELCOME TO TS/DBT
Community & Gratitude
The Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temples are an open, inclusive, and diverse community dedicated to interdependence and compassion.
Jōdo Shinshu is Buddhism for all–just as you are. Sono Mama.
We share the Dharma, take refuge in the Nembutsu, and promote awareness of self and others through a life of wisdom, compassion, and gratitude.
Jōdo Shinshu Buddhism
This path emphasizes everyday Buddhism for people; rather than a monastic Buddhism. Its practice, Nembutsu, is gratitude for the embrace of Amida Buddha and wisdom-compasssion. Nembutsu followers sincerely entrust themselves to reality without superstition.
We do not need to tally merit toward a rebirth in the Pure Land; our designs and efforts only separate us from Shinjin.
Yet, even in this approach, Jōdo Shinshu does not differ at all from other Buddhist paths. It awakens us, brings us moments of joy and Shinjin, and the equanimity to live in a world of birth and death while aware of an unfailing embrace of wisdom-compassion.
Simple, but difficult, the rich tradition of Jōdo Shinshu expresses a living experience of Buddhism.
