Re: Amida-Ji: Stop using Zen Masters explanations when referring to Amida Buddha - an example

I am little confused, was Kawaki speaking for Jodo/Shin-shu or Pure Land practice? Or his own (modernist?) practice? or Zen-shu?

Tendai Buddhism Retreat : NYC 10/27-20/29

https://www.facebook.com/events/281379435697052/ One of the more profound topics in Tendai philosophy is the view expounded by its founder, Ven. Chih-i, that each moment of consciousness contains within it three thousand distinct states of existence. To help us understand this in more detail, Rev.D...

Re: Meditation in Tendai

Well...it is all dharma- freeways, mountains, or buildings! Best is making effort, no matter the practice, and sounds like you are doing just that by visiting the communities and learning directly from teachers.
