"Certainly you both leave me looking forward to reading the article! Without yet responding to that, what Rob reminds me strongly of here is how in the nembutsu practice it was such a great relief to discover that prayer in no way needed to imply…"

Why I love continuous nembutsu chanting.

Posted on January 20, 2013 at 10:00 7 Comments

Yesterday Satya and I chanted Namo Amida Bu for seven hours continuously. Throughout the day we were joined by various Sangha members and friends who braved the snow. At nine o clock yesterday morning, after sliding on icy roads to the venue, I wondered if it might just be the two of us there, but nine other people came through the doors.…

I'm sitting surrounded by packing boxes, and the scent of cleaning products hangs in the air. We are moving house on Tuesday.

Then weeks of nothing,…

Thinking about Other Power

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 14:30 9 Comments

I have been thinking a great deal about Other Power recently. An idea that  I have been calling Radical Other Power. An idea that is a step beyond how I usually frame my experience of the world.

I have usually thought of Other Power as something which calls to me, a guide if you like, rather than an active agent in this world.  Other Power tells me I am okay, just as I am, that I am loved. Other Power tells me to love, but leaves me to figure out the best way to do…

Bore da Kaspa - It was lovely to catch up with you again - chanting the nembutsu, jamming with the ukelele and singing some Johnny Cash. We must try to get the piano tuned and then we'll be flying!
