I did a search and saw a few references to this person.
Is he a legit teacher? Anyway, I'm not interested personally but I saw a friend attend his events on Facebook.
David Brazier's Amida Trust?
Re: David Brazier's Amida Trust?
In my opinion he should be avoided. He never studied until l ordination in any tradition, much less Pure Land, which is especially concerning as there is a great Jodo Shinshu temple, 3 Wheels in London (I knew the sensei) and he could have gone to Japan and trained with Shinshu or Jodo Shu etc.. So to me this smacks of ego and a personality cult. http://peacefulturmoil.blogspot.com/200 ... trust.htmlMiphamFan wrote:http://amidatrust.typepad.com/dharmavidya/

Chih-I:
The Tai-ching states "the women in the realms of Mara, Sakra and Brahma all neither abandoned ( their old) bodies nor received (new) bodies. They all received buddhahood with their current bodies (genshin)" Thus these verses state that the dharma nature is like a great ocean. No right or wrong is preached (within it) Ordinary people and sages are equal, without superiority or inferiority

Re: David Brazier's Amida Trust?
While his books are well reviewed, and he seems popular outside of Buddhist circles, he also seems like a typical British eccentric and I'd second Rory's suggestion that you consider somewhere a bit more traditional if you don't want to be led astray.
