Links


To Honpa members and visitors:


Here are some selected Buddhist websites that seem interesting and informative (even fun). We collected this set of links by saving some of the favorites we found during our web wanderings. These don't occur together elsewhere, so bookmark this spot or find it again from the Wheel links.

Some sites are really marvelous, for example visit the Hongwanji Tsukiji Betsuin Jodo Shinshu temple in Tokyo by clicking here, or go to http://www.pluto.dti.ne.jp/~kennyko/tsukiji/tstop_e.htm

Many are educational, such as Shinran Shonin. A link to the Singapore Hongan Mission (Jodo Shinshu) and the Living Dharma at the West Covina Buddhist Temple

Visit other temples, such as our friends at the Reno Buddhist Church

A good set of worldwide Jodo Shinshu Buddhism links (including us!) is found at Dharmalink

Seattle Buddhist Temple has an excellent set of links: (including us again!)
