traditionally, long ago apparently this day was return day or box'em up to go back to the store
I think thats how the name came about
Brilliant sun and frrreeezing cold out there
In Buddhism, this life is filled w/ Dukha or suffering. It is the lot of all living things. Now, don't get too down about this theory. B/c Buddhists also believe that the suffering doesn't dominate our lives if we accept the way things are.
Revere all life and see the sacrifices that living things make all their lives. Appreciate all things.
The Nembutsu or invocation is " We surround all living things with infinite Love and Compassion. To all those in doubt and ignorance, pain and suffering and especially to those whose feet are standing close to the great change, men call death - we offer up oceans of Wisdom , Mercy and Love "
Now, what kind of Buddhist, am I ?
Dunno
I understand the basic precepts and agree
but what does it do for my life
which after all, should be the function of a religion
how you see life and live, day by day
We shall see said the Zen Master
