Hi Dharma friends!  Let's begin the next section of the Jodo Wasan, 'Hymns to Amida Based on Various Sutras (Nine Hymns).  I am using the text found in The Collected Works of Shinran Kyoto: Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha (Shin Buddhism Translation Series), 1997.  I hope you are enjoying the verses and, if so, please tell your friends about the podcast!  The latest episode can also be heard over the phone by dialing 607-350-ABSC (607-350-2272).  In addition to the Wasan, there are other nice things to hear there as well.  Check the American Buddhist Study Center's webpage ambuddhist.org for lots of cool Dharma content.  Palms together, Gary
