Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Through practicing the Buddhadharma, even immutable karma can dissipate easily. Why? Because karma is ultimately an illusion. When it meets something real—Amitabha’s name—the illusion must dissolve. If Amitabha-recitation couldn’t overcome immutable karma, how could it possibly enable our rebirth in the Pure Land and attainment of buddhahood? — Master Jingzong

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: By observing the world with a still mind, we see that after the waves subside, the sea returns to calm; after the storms have passed, the earth grows quiet; and after emotional turmoils fade, the human heart, too, finds tranquility. Having weathered life’s tempests, and tasted its many flavors—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy—we come to realize that the truest contentment lies in simplicity. — Master Zhisui

"All Beings Are Equally Embraced By Amida Buddha": Jodo Shinshu Buddhism and Same-Sex Marriage in the United States > Ministers in the Buddhist Churches of America (BCA) began performing same-sex marriages approximately forty years ago. These were among the first clergy-led religious ceremonies for same-sex couples performed in the modern era, and were apparently the first such marriages conducted in the history of Buddhism. In this article, I seek to explain why Jodo Shinshu Buddhists in America widely and easily affirmed same-sex weddings in the later 20th and early 21st centuries. My argument is that there are three factors in particular—institutional, historical, and theological elements of American Shin Buddhism—that must be attended to as contributing reasons why ministers were supportive of same-sex marriage.

As an LMU alum and staff member whose spiritual journey led ultimately to #JodoShinshu, I have to say this was a much more moving event than I expected. All I knew before was that we were dedicating a bodhi tree. Having my own sect leading the way was like a miracle unfolding.
