Hi Dharma Friends,

This week we cover the five remaining Wasan verses by Shinran on Bodhisattva Vasubandhu.  The teachings of Bodhisattva Vasubandhu on "the mind that is single" is central to Shinran's understanding of Buddhism.  That is why Shinran regarded Vasubandhu as the second of the seven masters in the Jōdo Shinshū lineage.  The Wasans in this episode are among my personal favorites. See what you think!  Next time we will start the next section, which is on Master T'an-luan, 34 gathas or hymns based on his writings.

If you "follow" or "subscribe" to this podcast on your provider's platform, each episode will be delivered to your device as soon as it is published and you can listen at your convenience.  Please be well and, if you are enjoying the Wasan readings, please tell your friends to listen as well.

With palms together, Gary
