Show notes

Welcome to another show! In this show we look at the second half of On Attaining Buddhahood, which includes:

For what reason do we live out our lives?
There are not two lands, pure and impure in themselves
Isn't the weather miserable?

Polishing our mirror
Revealing the gleaming motorcycle within
Chanting in the morning
Myoho-renge-kyo
Apple Tree Sutra
Mastering our minds
Teachers
