1 May Memorial Service & Gotane May Memorial Service & Gotane May 1, 2022 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Gotane is the name of the service that is held to celebrate thebirth of Shinran Shonin, the Founder of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Shinran Shonin'sbirth is given as May 21, 1173. He was given the name Matsuwakamaro and wasborn in the Hino area near Kyoto. His father was Hino, Arinori. At the age of4, Shinran and his siblings are separated from their father. Not much is knownabout his mother except that records indicate that she died when Shinran Shoninwas eight years old. At the age of nine Shinran Shonin was taken to Mount Hiei,the center of the Tendai tradition of Buddhism, where he would spend the next20 years of his life. As the story is told within the tradition, the youngMatsuwakamaro was taken to Mount Hiei by his uncle Noritsuna. He would be takento Shouren-in or one of the many temples on Mount Hiei to be admitted as achild monk. Unfortunately, because it was already late in the day when ShinranShonin went to Mount Hiei, Jien, who was the head of Shouren-in at the time,recommended that the party return home and come back the next day. At thattime, Shinran Shonin is said to have composed the following poem: The heart of the frivolous cherry (blossom) that believes in atomorrow, will not the gale blow in the middle of the night Moved by this poem, it is said that Jien allowedMatsuwakamaro's entrance into Mount Hiei and gave him his tonsure (tokudo,ceremony where one becomes a priest) and the name Hannen immediately. He wouldlater enter into Honen Shonin's group and was originally given the name Shakku.He would later be given the name Zenshin. After his exile and having hispriestly status removed by the government, he chooses the name Shinran. Shoninis a title and is often translated as, “Sage.” See more details •	2	3 May 3rd, 2022 WBT Board Meeting May 3rd, 2022 WBT Board Meeting May 3, 2022 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86098613433 Barbara Shingai is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
