Thank you for your contributions and answering some of my questions. As the name of the monk who became Amida in the Larger Pureland Sutra I feel blessed to meet you.

I can tell i'll have to take this all at a gradual pace, as each new idea or piece of information can unsettle and then reorganize my understanding of the Buddhist perspective in terms of how to effect change in the world, ourselves, etc.

Thank you for your reply!

At 11:14pm on January 15, 2009, Lisa Winett said…: I've just read the intro to your site...amazing the history that Buddhism developed within...the crows and the elephants and evil. How does Buddhism feel about the conquest over evil and violence at the moment? I think certainly in America it has helped to cultivate an understanding of non-violence, but I wonder if the violence doesn't change into a smaller type...or maybe this is just part of the evolution of it's extinction?
