Summary
Here are the stories of those who have encountered and embraced the way of life called Shin Buddhism (or Jodo Shinshu). Starting from other religious traditions and backgrounds, the writers have “crossed over” to become part of the Shin Buddhist community in the U.S. and Canada. In powerful essays, they share personal experiences and explain how their paths found a new direction.
“I have known many who have crossed over. Some have had to face ostracism and even disownment from families who could not accept their new faith. Those who have crossed over show us a depth of commitment that both humbles and inspires us. May their writings be the start of a new era in which Shin Buddhism reaches many more who are waiting to encounter the path that embraces all and excludes none.” —Rev. Marvin Harada
