A quarterly publication of the Higashi Hoganji, the “MON” introduces a wide variety of topics such as the Buddhist teachings in general, Jōdo Shinshū, Higashi Honganji, and its tradition. The title “Mon” can be rendered in two kanji characters: “門,” which means “gate,” and “聞,” which means “to listen.” The 門 (gate) also refers to a way of attaining awakening, while the 聞 (to listen) means to listen to and to reflect on the teaching. It is our hope that this publication will serve as your gate to the world of the Buddhist teaching and our tradition. The past issuess can be downloaded from the links below.
