Christopher Brainerd blogs about his journey into Buddhism

This is a collection of Christopher Brainerd's ramblings written as a novice student of Buddhism.
My primary practice is Jodo Shinshu, yet I ramble on many spiritual topics.
Some of what follows is original, some are quotes or summations for which I provide the source.

Snake in a Garden

The cause of suffering is the thirst for love.
There are two kinds of love.
Good love is what bodhisattvas seek.
Evil love is what common people year for.
The thirst for love is like a snake
hidden in a flowerbed.
-Mahaparinirvana-sutra
