On Monday I was asked if I would be the vice chair of the Birmingham council of Faiths. This will also make me the Chair next year, this for me was a great honour. To have been chosen humbled me and I asked and will Continue to ask for Amida to guide me in the path the Buddha has shown me.

That’s a great affirmation (auto correct wanted to say ‘fermentation’ which may also be true) of your good work. Namo Amida Bu

Today has been such a pleasure, it’s my eldest granddaughters fifteenth birthday. Time certainly does go so fast, Ashlee, my granddaughter, has grown into such a lovely young woman. She is full of love and compassion and has so much to give. We lived together until a few years ago when my daughter married and moved on. That was such a strange t…[Read more]

Nice to have a few days off work. Continue with my retreat and get some much needed gardening done. Chant nembutsu as I go.

Hello Alex
Welcome to the site, much of what you have said is my experience too. I found Amida and Amida Shu, or perhaps it found me. But it’s everything I was looking for warm friendly acceptance of me just as I am. A foolish being.

The days have started to get warmer and longer. I love the summer months where we have good weather and are able to enjoy nature. I do keep telling myself that I don’t need to cling to this season to be happy, but my mind ignores the advice and insist on feeling low as winter approaches. bombu nature I guess and clinging. I do enjoy the beauty of…[Read more]

I think it’s our duty to enjoy our preferences as well as noticing when we’re clinging – enjoy!!

My Ojo retreat continues to relax me and helps me to have greater insight into my own life or lifestyle. The second day concentrates on taste, now, I thought “oh okay doesn’t sound great”. As it happens it was really interesting, it had me carry out a number of tasks with food, texture and taste.
What I think was taken away from the day was the r…[Read more] -

Sorry to hear that you have been feeling low, it can be a solitary feeling. Equally good to hear how you allowed Amida to guide you and that this worked. hope you remain well and happy.

My latest module in the vow 22 course is the Ojo retreat, I’m really enjoying this as meditation and self-expression is close to my heart and activities that I always enjoy.
The first day of the Ojo retreat was particularly interesting and had me carry out various tasks that I enjoyed and felt I benefited from in terms of my practice.
One e…[Read more]-

Just started on my vow 22 course again, don’t know why i left it so long, nearly a year. Have to say I’m enjoying my studies once again, the module is ministry as a profession and extremely interesting. Also given me a lot to think about and even more to research. Its funny because when I’m studying I really get into it, enjoy the time and the…[Read more]

Not so long ago, on a Sunday afternoon I sat outside a Greggs bakery store in Birmingham eating a vegan roll and watching the traffic go by. There were all sorts of people men woman children, whole cars of people some with just one person. I wondered where they were all going and wondered why they seemed in a hurry, as I watched I noticed a couple…[Read more]
