RyanO Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Does anyone have this book? I'm trying to find a copy, not even used on amazon or ebay. Anyone know where I can get it? If you've read it what do you think? I like it because I am attracted to both qigong and Pure Land Buddhism, as well as the commanalities between Taoism and Buddhism. I'm not really interested in Pure Land dogma per se, but like the idea and think it offers a nice framework and approach to death, and gives more 'substance' to heaven and the spiritual side of cultivation. Strict pure land, along Japanese lines, shuns "self effort" towards enlightment. But I think a balanced approach is better, more in accord with Taoism. So Chinese Pure Land and Wong Kiew Kit's views are appeal to me, shame I can't find the book! http://www.amazon.com/Sukhavati-Western-Paradise-Heaven-Taught/dp/9834087934/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329414409&sr=1-1 Edited February 16, 2012 by RyanO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harmonious Emptiness Posted February 16, 2012 I found this book about Shin Buddhism to be very inspiring. It speaks a lot about love and connecting with the divine (Amida Buddha) which is attractive to Taoists and Shintoists alike I think. His enthusiasm is invigorating and will probably make you finish the book very quickly! Naturalness: A Classic of Shin Buddhism [Paperback] Kenryo Kanamatsu There is a preview of it here: http://www.amazon.ca/Naturalness-Classic-Buddhism-Kenryo-Kanamatsu/dp/0941532291#reader_0941532291 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
