Welcome to the Manitoba Buddhist Temple
We are a group of Canadians who are followers of the Jodo Shinshu "Shin" sect of Pureland Buddhism.
A community joined together by the gladness of receiving the shinjin of Amida Buddha's Vow to embrace selflessly all beings with wisdom and mercy, without a trace of discrimination or prejudice, and that is, with no exceptions.

As Shin Buddhists, we seek to be humble and sincere in words and deeds, to be responsible citizens of our society.
We hope that this site will give you a brief understanding of what our sect of Buddhism is all about. We wish you well on your quest for knowledge.
Community Fund
The Manitoba Buddhist Temple gratefully acknowledges support from the Community Fund of the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society. The JCLS approved two grants for the Bento Box and the Manitoba Buddhist Temple History Preservation projects in 2024. We are grateful to JCLS for their support that allows us to recognize and honour our elder members who survived the WWII internment of Japanese Canadians. More information in our temple news.
