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!

I am not my pain
I am not in the world.
The world is in me.
Everything I am experiencing
Reflects myself.
I create my own suffering.
I create the good
I create the bad
Suffering is pain that we hold onto.
I am not my pain.
