I spent many years in Zen training and subsequently many more years practising Pureland Buddhism. Broadly, Zen is a more monastic and Pureland a more lay tradition. Now that I have the calling to create a temple I am working to bring the two…

Hi David
Please put my name down for any new Amida discussion group as per email.
Andrew.
You asked if I identify with being a wanderer. I do.
I met the idea when I was a Christian. I trained with a monastery for the priesthood, and learned to practice what we called contemplative prayer. I chanced upon a classic of the Orthodox practice of Jesus Prayer, called ‘The Way of the Pilgrim’, and the particular term Strannik in Catherine Doherty’s novelette by that title (her book Poustinia is better known), and the idea struck with me.
I have since left working In the ministry for the CofE, and think I’m more of a Tolstoyan, politically, but was interested in training in existential therapy, though came across Buddhist therapy and your work the feeling Buddha excited me hence I found your site.
How do I receive your podcasts! By the way all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well .. not always so...
Many, many thanks for the invitation and welcome!
Gracias David por la bienvenida. Saludos.
Thank you for welcoming me to Eleusis.
Thank you for the invitation, David. I hope you will get better soon. I just had Karin visiting at my holiday home in Holland. We talked about the ITZI conference. I look forward to attend. (Still need to register.) Cheers!
