This book is published by the Corporate Body of the Buddha Educaional Foundation. Of all the forms of Buddhism practiced in East Asia, Pure Land has been the most widespread for over a millennium. It can be found throughout the Mahayana canon, with specific references in more than 200 texts (Encyclopedia of Buddhism). In one such text, the Avatamsaka Sutra, the story is told of a wordless sutra, "equal in extent to the universe, existing in each and every atom." What is this sutra? It is the Sutra of the Mind -- the embodiment of the tenet that "everything is made from Mind alone." And so we come to a key teaching which underlies the entire Buddhist canon, in which Pure Land figures so prominently: to attain the Mind of Enlightenment, to become a Buddha, the first step is development of the Bodhi Mind - the aspiration to achieve Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. It is with this parting thought that we leave the reader, as we wish him a pleasant excursion into Buddha Recitation, a profound yet democratic form of Buddhist practice.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
