Hi Dharma friends!  In today's episode, we begin the next part of the Jodo Wasan, consisting of nine Gathas or Hymns on The Contemplation Sutra.  We cover the first 5 in this episode and will finish them up next time.  This might be a great time to read or re-read The Sutra of Contemplation on Amida Buddha.  Shinran's verses guide us to appreciate the essence of the story of King Bimbisara, Queen Vaidehi, King Ajatasaru, etc., and what it should mean for us in our own lives.
