Personal notes made during a westerner's new journey into Buddhism.
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!

The Second Arrow
If one arrow strikes you, you will suffer.
But if a second arrow hits you in the same spot, you'll suffer one hundred times more.
An Enlightened person simply feels the original pain and lets it end there.
