Re: Finding a Chinese sutra
Hi all, I just realized I never replied! I want to extend many thanks to you all for helping me track down this sutra. I imagine that it must be translated in the BDK tripitaka? I've been searching around but have not been able to locate it. Perhaps it does not exist? Any help on this would be immen...

However, they keyboard layout is completely different than the Windows one - which, I must say, I got extremely proficient at typing in.

pure land buddhism as anachronistic concept
I am writing an article in which I make the claim that pure land buddhism is a concept that has its roots first and foremost in Japanese Buddhism (namely with Honen and Shinran) and later with Japanese Buddhist Studies. However, I argue, this concept has been anachronistically applied to Chinese pur...

Hi all, So basically I would like to start learning classical Chinese. I know some Mandarin and have some Chinese friends (with good knowledge of dharma vocabulary as far as I can tell).

The term Puja
The term Puja seems to be used in a wide many ways. I take it that it's from Sanskrit?
What is the corresponding Tibetan term?
How does the way we describe practice with terms like Puja, Sadhana, etc. affect our understanding of them?
