In this talk he asks what the myth of Sukhavati actually means, and proposes an answer – the living of the spiritual life is natural and results in what the eleventh century Pure Land teacher Shinran called jinen – naturalness. The post Adventures in the Pure Land – Naturalness appeared first on Manchester Buddhist Centre.
