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.
Gassho!

Animitta (labels)

When I declare a "self"
That infers that there are things
That are "not-self"
But there exists neither
"self" nor "not-self"
There is only Sunyata (emptiness)
 And Tathata (thusness)
Discard the label (animatta)
To see things as they really are.
