The Bamboo Grove: "Touring the Pure Land" With Venerable Shih Mingxing
2025-01-16 08:00 - 17:00
In Pure Land Buddhism the Pure Land itself may be regarded as a literal realm of rebirth, or it may be seen as a series of metaphors which help us to uncover deep truths about ourselves and the universe. Venerable Shih Mingxing will take us on a guided tour of the Pure Land as described in the Visualization Sutra in order to help us understand what this “Realm of Bliss” really is and what it represents.
