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.

Dhammapada

(03) The ignorant person who knows that he is ignorant is still wise; the ignorant one who thinks that he is wise is indeed a fool.

(76) If one meets a person who points out his faults and scolds him, he should associate with such a wise person as though he were the revealer of great treasure.

(103) Better than conquering a thousand in battle is to conquer oneself.

(221) Discard anger, abandon pride, and leave fetters.
