Today we discussed the place of faith on the spiritual path. We talked about Pure Land Buddhism which is a faith-based Buddhist school.
We reflect on the difference between the idea that “there’s nothing you can do” vs “there’s nothing you *need* to do.” The role of self-effort.
Can one short-circuiting practice? Progressive vs sudden awakening. We explore limiting ideas regarding what’s required to awaken. And notice when Life says “hold my beer!”
Every part of your life experience is “your way” and is the way consciousness wakes up to its own nature. We discuss how faith can allow one to drop thinking. But true faith needs to align with truth/reality.
We talk about coming to the end of seeking and the power of being humbled by our powerlessness. Also we touch on the different shapes of seeking in different people.
Enjoy.
