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.

Suffering and the apparent cause of suffering are actually unrelated, causes and conditions simply brought the two together.

"A person suffering in agony does not suffer because something inflicts the suffering, but rather it is the result of his own action."
