Bodhi Day
I hope that we can all take the time to reflect on what a Bodhi Day would mean within our own lives. What a wonderful New Year’s resolution this would be, to reorient our lives towards practice and follow the Way. This is how we can all have a truly happy New Year for both ourselves and for those all around us.
Another Buddha on Bodhi Day
When considering Buddhism, we tend to envision its practice. For many, this would be sitting meditation on a cushion, facing a blank white wall for long periods of time. In his new book Pure Land: History, Tradition, and Practice, Charles B. Jones explains another Buddhist approach known as “The Story.” This is the foundation of Pure Land Buddhism.
