Hi Satya
Yes I wrote it as it was my granddaughters fourth birthday. She passed away after two weeks and quite a fight from such a little thing. I wanted to express my feelings some way so spent some time writing the poem and posted it on her birthday.-
Ah, I’m sorry to hear that Andrew. Namo Quan Shi Yin Bosat. It’s a beautiful poem.

You should try a walk in the new hall valley. It’s on the outskirts in Sutton but well worth the trip.
I often cycle along the pathway it is good for mindfulness and being close to nature. You can forget that you are in a huge urban area and drift into the countryside. Surrounded by trees with a little stream running all the way through the c…[Read more]

Monday Nembutsu for me today will be ten minutes chanting on my way home from work. So if you live in Birmingham and see a man in s green mini talking to himself as he drives at around 5.30pm that will be me.
What will your Monday Nembutsu be today?

As part of the vow 22 course I have had to research the My Socialism document by Tekagi Kenmyo.
Anyone who practices Pure Land Buddhism and Nembutsu should read the document.
