Precepts for the Pure Land Practitioner

Often Western Pure Land practitioners wonder how to fully practice Buddhanusmirti (Buddha Recitation). What are the nuances of this practice? How can this practice make a real different in our lives? How can its practice open us to ultimate salvation? This talk and subsequent Q & A will look into how to realistically practice Pure Land Buddhism according to the precepts of the influential 13 century master, Ippen Shonin.
Ippen (1234-1289) was a Japanese Buddhist itinerant preacher (hijiri) who founded the Ji-Shu branch of Pure Land Buddhism. Presented by Rev. Senpai G. Lewis-Bastías.
A short Introduction to Meditation Training session will be held before the gathering at 9:45 a.m.
