My Journey in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Laquo; Saichi and the Nembutsu. Catching Hold of Our Sleeves. April 30, 2008 by dave f.

Blathering Nonsense: Absoluut Dharma...
http://blatheringnonsense.blogspot.com/2011/01/absoluut-dharma.html
Thursday, 27 January 2011. Rev Kemmyo Taira Sato. Most, if not all of the time we tend to discriminate between things as either being A or B, good or bad, true or false etc. and then we proceed to form opinions and make judgements based upon these absolutes we ascribe to them. Buddhadharma aims to cuts through this dualistic mode of thinking which leads us to seperate ourselves from others and place our own needs above all else. In Shantideva's Bodhicaryavatara. 27 January 2011 at 06:23. Im unconvinced t...

A Father Learning to Love: Some interesting thoughts on Jōdo Shinshū
http://fatherlearningtolove.blogspot.com/2013/01/some-interesting-thoughts-on-jodo.html
A Father Learning to Love. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Some interesting thoughts on Jōdo Shinshū. I have been reading a book called "Who Is This Man?

To put it another way, as Mr. Ortberg says:. To love God with all.

As we have recently been discussing our thoughts on the nature of the Pure Land both here. Now I have said that...

http://blatheringnonsense.blogspot.com/2011/03/motivational-condition-for-religious.html
Monday, 21 March 2011. The motivational condition for religious awakening. As an after-thought to the previous posting -. The other people in a person's life are the motivational condition for an individual's religious awakening. Consequently they are those who have done a great deal for that individual's spiritual welfare. As a matter of course, one comes to understand just how grateful one should be to others.
