Shinnyo-en Shinnyo-en was founded in Japan in 1936 by Reverend Shinjo lio and is a Buddhist Order devoted to the practice of the teachings of the Buddha as handed down in the Grear Ni￿ana Sutr4 which is regarded as the ultimate distillation of the thinking of ihc Buddha. Through its founder. the Order can trace its spiritual lineage to the beginnings of the Buddhist leaching. With the exception of a small number of Bishops and minisle￿ who provide leadership and spiritual ouidancc, the membership of Shinnyo-en consists of lay men and ￿"Omen leading norn)al workday lives ￿,hO endeavour to follow and apply the teachings of the Buddha in the contexi of the present day lsving Cnvironment. With its emphasis on personal discipline and spirtlual development, and ork service (o the community at large, the Shinnyo Icaching strikes a re%ponsive chord among those seeking fuifilment in mind and spirit. As part of their training and spiritual development. Shinnyo prnclilioners undertake the tl)ree practices of Gohoshi, or voluntary service; Otasuke. or missionary endeavour. and Kangi, or ihe making of offerings.

To help accomplish its mission, the Company works closely with lh¢ founding Shinnyo-en organ1sation in Japan and with other overseas Shinnyo-en eniilies. For the purposes of the Charities Act 2011, the Directors of the Company are regarded as irustees. The PTin¢ipal objecl of the Cotnpany is the advan¢¢tnent and pmmotion of religion by the extension of the spirit and the knoivledge of ihe teachings of the Buddha through the precepis and teachings of thc Shinnyo-en doctrine. Each year our trustees review our objecrives and activities io en5urc the>. continue to reflcct our aims. In carrying out ihis review the irustees have considered the Charity Commission s generdl guidance on public ￿nefIt and in particular its supplemenrary public guidance on the advancemeni of religion for ihe public benefit. Shinnyo-en activities within the United Kingdom are SUFervised by the Branch Manager, with guidance from the founding Shinnyo-en organisaiion in Japan.

There is also basic medilation training at ihe temple for the general publi¢ as well as monihly Evening services at th¢ Royal College of Phy51cian5 in London. Shinnyo-en docs not have forfflal policies designed to promote the Shinftyo leaching. Given that, nornially, new entfdnt5 join by way of introduction. it is considered that the impression created by fhe individual Shinnyo practitioner through exarnple and personal behaviour is the mosi potent ittfluence on thosc in search of spiritual development.

The event was highly successful and attracted 1.100 attcndees at th¢ temple at]d also over 3,000 online viewers, including access lo the recorded events. Bccause of the closure and aclivities with restriciions at the iemple. it was expected th21 the donations from rollowers in 2020 would be significantly lower than the donations in 2019.
