Biography of Shinran Shonin by Kakunyo, sections XII - XV
This is the official biography of Shinran Shonin as accepted by Nishi Hongwanji branch of Jodo Shinshu, and also by our temple, Amidaji. The reason I say so is that this biography is recited aloud on every Hoonko week (Shinran’s Memorial) at Nishi Hongwanji mother temple between January 9th to January 16th.
The title of the biography is “An Illustrated Biography of Shinran, Honganji's Shonin (Honganji Shonin Shinran Denne)” and was compiled by Kakunyo, the 3rd Monshu of Hongwanji temple.
The narrator of this biography is Gansen John Welch, a member and teacher in Amidaji temple sangha. The edition he uses was translated by Rev Zuio Hisao Inagaki and can be accessed at this link, http://web.mit.edu/stclair/www/horai/denne-index.htm Please click there if you wish to read the whole text together with introduction, images and notes.

you can also download the pdf containing the text narrated in this video (sections 12 to 15), excluding the notes and illustrations. The text is in larger type than the original text, so the elderly and those with eye problems may read it easily.
