I think if you use the free weekend to rest, take courage and energy to be able to do your job the next week and to reflect on what you did and shall do, there is no matter of selfishness, as you are just trying to do good and to be able to continue that… letting body and mind relax after work is natural and good.

Namo Amida Bu, deep bow to all.

On the weekend off 15-16 June, we had an Amida Purelandmeeting with 4 off us, very intimate and deep sharings because of the little group we where. That was good.

We did some lovely practice in the garden with nembutsu and offering of flowers to the Buddha. We did have sharings, had some more insight into the…[Read more]

Very little Amida-group comes together this weekend: I think we will be four of us. Theme : The Summary of Faith and Practice. Big theme!!! Much commentaries on the Eleusis-site of Dharmavidya, so I studied a lot on it…. and translated things into dutch to understand better and help others to understand better with Dutch texts … and after all,…[Read more]

This weekend we had a wonderful Amida-meeting with 8 of us.
We were so happy to have Dharmavidya with us and receive so much of his wisdom and light.
He told us several stories about the Buddha’s life, especially his young life and the confrontation of the young innocent Buddha with the reality of life in this samsara-world, the suffering he d…[Read more]

So happy, in 10 days our sangha comes together. We will be 8: Susthama, Annetta, Maïtrisimha, Floor, Tom, Diederik, Annemie and myself. As we all live rather far away from each other it is a challenge and a great joy to be able to meet.

The theme of the day is: narratives and stories that we grow up with, both the political ones and spiritual…[Read more]

In short : for me numbers 2 en 3 make the most sense in the way I express the Nembutsu. I very much have the feeling that Amida comes more and more in my heart and life when I focus my attention on the expression outward and inward of his name. In difficult times I call out for help. Namo Amida Bu

Thank you to give us courage by the helpful words : “We can make faltering steps in the holy life and trust that whatever sincerity there may be in our hearts will not be fruitless.”

Thank you to point this out so clearly Dharmavidya. yes, I think self-humility is, in where I am with my lack of insight; lack of power to overcome karma-issues, negative emotions and thoughts; lack of power to overcome greedy actions and so much more of favorite actions, the best I can do faced with all of this is stand in awe with open hands…[Read more]

We are in the hands of something so powerful, so wonderful.
“With your hook-like kindness hold me, through all bardos, through all lifes, from fear safe me, with power fill me, be by my side, keep me true” Namo Amida Bu, tank you Dayamay to share this beautiful passage.

As I suffer chronic pain and sleeplessness, days are sometimes difficult especially after more days without or with a little of sleep. Today on my walk in the forest, I realised very deeply how nature is compassion and love, how all this is other-power, helping us to leave concerns on health issues and other painful things to appreciate what is…[Read more]

  Thank you for sharing Vajra. Nature is such a powerful force…

I’m grateful for nature, for flowers, for the sun and the moon, I’m grateful for life, for new hope, for friends, for my partner.
I’m so grateful for having met Amida and the Amida-sangha, for our wise teacher, for the chances we get to learn, to transfrom and to grow. Namo Amida Bu, thank you all.
