- Hello Jonathon
Thank you for your message. I've just returned from the Buddhafield festival where the Amida Trust has a regular presence and is part of a team affiliated with the Network of Engaged Buddhists. During the week we have hosted and been involved in workshops and discussion about engaged activity with contributions from both those who have an affinity with Buddhism and others more grounded in activist activity. Its been interesting and reassuring for me to discover the creativity in this dialogue and how those from different groups can learn from each other.I am also hoping that some of the people we had contact with will stay in touch in relation to the stop the Leicester Lab campaign and feed into any action we take through the Amida Trust or through contact with those more directly involved. I hope you are well. Stay in touch. Simon

- Hello Jonathon, glad you could join us here. I shall be away in France now until September so might be less available and active in Leicester. However you might like to link up with Susthama who is planning further protests over the coming weeks. Susthama's page is here. Please do keep other members up to date with the campaigns you are involved in, there is a lot of interest in Amida community in what you and others are doing. I also hope you find some interesting material here and will share some of your knowledge and experience. I hope to hear from you soon.

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?
Started by Dr Di in Amida Trust & Amida-shu Development. Last reply by Thomas Myojo Radcliffe May 5. 19 Replies 0 Likes
I see Amida Trust bringing the 2 together, or are they mutually exclusive? ie the here and now focus on breath of Zazen implies continuity and oneness, whereas the 'other- power' of Amida can be seen…Continue
The prison of the question of "liking or not liking"
Started by Katrien Sercu in Amida Trust & Amida-shu Development. Last reply by Robert McCarthy Apr 30. 9 Replies 0 Likes
It is surprising how a question, which was a step forwards earlier in life becomes an ennoying limitation that, in good moments, can evoke a smile in me as it is really a funny and stupid question.…Continue
