Hi Dharma Friends!  With this episode, we conclude the reading of the Jodo Wasan section, "On the Larger Sutra."  Next time we will start another group, "On the Contemplation Sutra."  I really hope you have been enjoying these readings.

Remember that when questions about Shinran's thoughts arise upon hearing some of these verses, those are golden opportunities to ask about them to your ministers, other reliable teachers, or knowledgeable Sangha friends.  In this way, your own understanding can deepen, and the Dharma will spread.  This is the true purpose of the writings of Shinran Shonin. We are "fellow travelers" in the Dharma.

Please "follow" or subscribe to whatever podcast platform you use to access these readings.  That way, notifications of new episodes will go directly to your phone or device, and you can listen at your convenience.  Also, please check out the American Buddhist Study Center webpage at americanbuddhist.org for more good Shin Dharma content.  Until next time, be well!

With palms together, Gary
