Amitabha and the Pure Land Sutras (for Dharmacharis)

Led by Ratnaguna

A second seminar, just for Dharmacharis...

The Pure Land Sutras are works of the imagination. They don’t tell us the truth in words and ideas, they show it to us in images and we access that truth by imagining those images. On the literal level, Sukhāvatī is an objectively existing realm, but on the symbolic level it's a symbol of Awakening in this life. These Sutras propound a synergy of karma-niyama (ethics and visualisation) and dharma-niyama (Amitabha's light and name) meeting together in (spiritual) death and rebirth in Sukhavati. Ratnaguna's book on the Pure Land Sutras - Great Faith, Great Wisdom - is due to be published by Windhorse Publications in 2016. This will be a study seminar limited to 8 places.
