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.

Vajrapala Moerman replied to the topic Monday 12th November in the forum Monday Nembutsu 12 months ago

This morning as Daniël – my partner – was away very early bringing his grandchildren to school – I felt more ease at chanting out loud in stead of silent nembutsu. Yes, I too did like Dharmavidya’s talk about silent nembutsu combinated with breathing in and out. My mind is most of the time very much distracted and this combination of nembutsu and…[Read more]

Looks very nice!!! It looks more like a circle with the Buddha’s in between. With the priest in the middle off the room ? It is as we too could better communicate with the Buddha’s in this way … being together, sharing the temple together, grateful for the grace that we recieve, Namo Amida Bu

I think my autumn word could be “sharing”. I have a new shrine-room in a little corner in our house and there is Amida Buddha (his statue in gold colour), he is so moving, this statue makes such a deep resonance in me, I like to share time with him there and make deep contact. Open my heart and connect with what is moving him and what he has to…[Read more]

Thank you Dayamay to share, very well expressed! Beautiful and good to see how it works with emotions. Impermanence….. I have the same experience, emotions that come and go influenced by environment and fysical actions….and with time and space that take it all away….
