"I do more or less regular practice of zazen - shikan taza more precisely - to answer your question in a straightforward way...

Emir Salihovic replied to Dharmavidya's discussion Practice in Different Modes in the group Varieties of Spiritual Practice"It has been said that Pureland is a sudden awakening school of Buddhism, that it is direct entering into ultimate refuge or faith or shinjin without any intervening stage.
Could we say that practices of nien fo - with speech, or body or mind, or any…"
Emir Salihovic replied to dean haywood's discussion mixed upbringing in the group Came to believe"I was attracted to spirituality very early in my age, I was 13, 14... It was peculiar, as I grew up in a socialist country, raised by secular parents who didn't practice any religion actively. For some reason, I asked my mother to get me a book…"
Emir Salihovic replied to Emir Salihovic's discussion Amida and Christ in the group Introduction to Pureland Buddhism"Dear all,
for game's sake, I transliterated NAMO AMIDA BU into Hebrew letters, and following the manner of Qabalah, I calculated the enumeration of the word. I was so surprised to find out that the Qabalistic number of NAMO AMIDA BU, which is…"

- About Me:
- Studying Buddhism with Dharmavidya was a very important part of my spiritual life. I will always remember wonderful time we spent together in my home in Sarajevo, and workshops we organised for local people. I traversed many other paths since that time, but Buddhadhamma still has important place in my heart. I am glad that Amida Trust and Amida-shu exist and flourish, and I am joining this network as a sign of my support and good wishes to all of you.... I am looking forward to reconnect to Amida Shu work and continue the work I started years ago.

- How wonderful to hear from you. I am very enthusiastic about this Ning thing for a number of reasons, one of which is that old friends keep appearing. I am delighted that we are in touch once again. I hope you make some good friends on this network and that we meet again before too long. Love and blessings.

enlightened or bombu?
Started by Thomas Myojo Radcliffe in Buddhist Teaching. Last reply by Robert McCarthy May 7. 9 Replies 0 Likes
Zen is clear that we are essentially enlightened beings. Pureland insists that we are hopelessly deluded. Both seem to me to be true. On the one hand the mind with all it's contradictions,…Continue
Other-power or Zazen?
