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!

Respect
We show each other mutual respect
Because each of us is a Buddha.
When I respect the Buddha-Nature in others,
I am doing my part.
When others fail to respect the Buddha-Nature in me,
I have to tell them that they are causing me to suffer.
