About 120 people gathered Tuesday morning at the Shinnyo-En Buddhist temple on Bastanchury Road to pray and to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Shinjo Ito. Shinjo Ito is the founder of the Shinnyo-En branch of Buddhism based on Buddha’s final discourse that summarizes his life’s teachings--the message of peace.

Next month, the local temple will be visited by about 5,000 followers from Japan, Europe and the United States who will participate in a fire ritual at 11 a.m. April 14 and 15 at the temple, 1811 Bastanchury Road.
