Hi Dharma friends,
Welcome back to our reading of Shinran Shonin's verses on Master T'an-luan, the third master in the Jōdo Shinshū lineage. T'an-luan, who lived 476-542 CE in China, is the one who best explained the teaching of Other Power, a key concept in Shinran's understanding of Buddhism. While today's verses lean more toward the biographical end of the spectrum in this collection, there are tantalizing intimations of the powerful teachings that follow. Please enjoy them!
If you like hearing the regular Wasan verses, please encourage your friends to listen also. Check out the home page of the American Buddhist Study Center ambuddhist.org for more great Dharma content.
