Re: No Proofs of Sucessful Rebirths?&Are Pure Land sutras real?
I know that Pureland is not the limit, but the meanings to an end (Nirvana). I also know that signals (you know, visions, strange smells, etc during sucessful rebirths) are even much less important. The thing is what i alread explained: with reports, one faith would be greater. But i should say, th...

Re: More Aware
Thank you for sharing that Bodhi. I have a question for you or any other Pure Land buddhist: have you ever got any signs about your rebirth on Pure Land? What about your Master, did he got any signs? Do you have faith that you will get them? What other differences do you notice in your life because...

Re: Various titles in Mahayana Buddhism
I addressed all the monastics at Buddha Mind and other affiliates as well as Shifu, it just means master. I find it appropriate to do so, because I wouldn't know any other way to address them with utmost respect. Either way they are my Meditation masters, they also give Dharma lectures and are like ...

I just thought I would like to share a little experience I have from my meditation. I haven't been meditating for long. I was first started out as a Pure Land Buddhist and maybe what can be close to meditation is my daily recitation of "Namo Amitabha Buddha". But I finally found Chan to be much more...

I'm not claiming that I have never done it myself, but I would like to be careful about that, ka...

Re: Taego Lineage Seminary
In fact we will need different options for lay people engaged in deep practice for the Dharma to spread irrespective of whether a person is engaged in married life or not. A lay person can indeed engaged in deep practice of course, but that doesn't mean he or she is qualify at all to be a Dharma in...
