The Pure Land Buddhist Fellowship originated way back in the early eighties and recognised as one of the first groups in the UK to organise themselves as a Sangha of practicing devotees. The PLBF is a member of the Network of Buddhist Organisations (NBO).

In the September of 2011 four members of the Southampton Shin Sangha traveled to Kyoto to take part in a special European Shin Conference and pilgrimage to the sacred site of Mount Hiei where our founder, Shinran Shonin spent many years of his life. Upon their return from this most inspiring trip the Southampton Shin Sangha embarked upon a complete refit and redecoration of their meeting place (dojo) which included the installation of several beautiful and authentic Japanese adornments and ritual objects.

With this work now complete - and with an eye to the future and in long term preparation for 2014 when the European Shin Conference will be hosted by the PLBF here in Southampton and in the UK for only the second time in its history, we, the Southampton Shin Sangha have organised a series of weekly talks on various forms of Buddhist Meditation which, based upon his personal experiences, will be presented by Doshi Gary Robinson (given Buddhist name: Dai Chi) on every Thursday evening throughout January 2012. This will be followed in February, and again on every Thursday night, with another series of informative talks on the fascinating history of Buddhism which begins with the legendary life of the Buddha and culminates with a look at modern and contemporary Buddhism and how its various streams of tradition have brought it here to the West.
