Today is the funeral of my sons friend. 27 years old and taken in an instant by a youth with a knife a couple of months ago. It makes me sad to think of the loss of such a young person and the suffering it has caused to all of his family and friends.

Namo Quan Shi Yin Bosat. I hope the funeral goes well, and than your son, and your son’s friend’s family can take some solace from the ritual.

Monday Nembutsu for me was a service with theravadin monks at a local vihara.

Monday Nembutsu for me was meditation at the Vihara close to my home.
Ive decided to try to slow down a bit, not to stop doing anything, but to try to do the things I do with mindfulness.
I tend to rush, and in honesty, probably don’t do more just feel stressed about doing what I do. And no time to just appreciate more.
Well I’ll try anyway,…[Read more]

I ordered but it only gave me an online version.

Hi Andrew, the paperback version is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Questions-Sand-Buddhist-Answers/dp/0993131727/ref=sr_1_1_twi_pap_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503858382&sr=8-1&keywords=questions+in+the+and

That link should take you to the page where the format is selected as ‘paperback’ rather than kindle. The paperback is 9.99 and the kindle version 3.99… If you bought the paperback up you may have been offered a free kindle version, so perhaps that’s what happened?

I’ve been attending a meditation retreat in Birmingham since last Friday night. It is organised by a group of Theravada monks.
Its relaxing but also quite hard work 5 or 6 hours a day of meditation becomes difficult. It’s running for ten days will get there as much as I can.

My worship really started at a meditation session in a local Theravadin temple. Before meditation the monks will make prostations to the Buddha and we are expected to join in the ritual. This felt odd but somehow good. I’d been researching Buddhism for some time and it felt real. The next time was at an Amida Shu service in Birmingham. Jnanamati…[Read more]

Todsy I will cook diner for my daughter and grandaughter. My daughter is now four days overdue with her new baby, another girl she has named Isabella.
As I cook I will use mindful practice and silently chant Nembutsu.

A very welcome day off from work today. A trip into the city centre with my daughter who is busily buying her last few items for her wedding in December. Later I will go to temple to meditate and meet others who share my faith. All in all a fairly laid back sort of day.

I think one Nembutsu is enough in terms of its all you need to start the practice. We are creatures of habit and as has been noted obsessive it’s highly likely that repeating those words once will be enough to set us on a life long repetition.
The question then I suppose is do we do this as a heart felt Nembutsu or just as obsessive delusional…[Read more] -
