Weekly Wasan - Episode 44 - Kōsō Wasan (Hymns of the Pure Land Masters) Hōnen 108-112

Hi Dharma friends!
Today's episode contains five more Wasan verses by Shinran Shonin on Master Genkū (Hōnen), who lived in Japan 1133-1212 CE.  Hōnen was Shinran's personal teacher, and in these verses, he reiterates how Hōnen is the embodiment of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas teaching the Pure Land Way (that is the Way of Nembutsu).  Having received this wonderful and guaranteed teaching from such a great master himself, our teacher Shinran is saying that we too should follow the same way with confidence.
Next time we will conclude the Kōsō Wasan with the remaining five verses on Master Hōnen.  Hope you have been enjoying listening to them as much as I have reading them!   Check out the webpage of the American Buddhist Study Center ambuddhist.org for more cool content.
Palms together, Gary
