True Entrusting and the Wisdom of Shinran

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Fri, 31 Mar, 2023 - 00:00

Shraddha or 'confidence-faith' as an indispensable basis for the cultivation of Wisdom.

Yet he is simply drawing out and taking to their furthest limits some essential teachings of the Buddha.' - Maitrisiddhi

Prajnamati reflects on those two last words, drawing out the qualities of mindfulness, as taught by the Buddha, and the quality of effort that will enable us to cultivate and develop it.
