This is a poem penned by someone who has been here all week for the practice intensive. He is new to Pureland practice and asked me not to add his name, but perhaps will join the network at some point in the future.

In this space where

An eternity can be momentary

And a moment can be eternal

We aspire to be

Forest within the jungle

And oaks between the creepers.

Buddha bless this

North London Pureland

Wgere you can offer as gifts

Thoughts, senses and emotions

To the lucid One 

Of pure light

Through Quan Yin

May the practices be

For the benefit of all

And inspire us to be

Better ambassadors

Of love.

I was there for a couple of sessions and I have to say it was great.  Many thanks to Jnanamati, Sumaya and Modgala for her wonderful Service with its focus on Kuan shi Yin. I loved yesterdays extended Nembutsu practice period too.  Hurrah and Namo Amida Bu!
