Buddhist “Living” from India to China
Any path you take as a profession, you need your mentors who can guide you to the right direction. If you pursue studying quantum mechanics, you would choose Albert Einstein, or in the 21st century Niels Bohr and Max Planck, two of the founding fathers of Quantum Theory. Each received a Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on quanta. Einstein is considered the third founder of Quantum Theory because he described light as quanta in his theory of the Photoelectric Effect, for which he won the 1921 Nobel Prize.
Living in the Buddha-Dharma is the same thing. Our founder Shinran selected the Seven Masters from India, China, and Japan to learn the Pure Land Buddhism. They are called the Pure Land Seven Masters. This lecture talks about the first master Bodhisattva Nagarjuna in India , the second master Bodhisattva Vasubandhu in India, and the third master Tanluan in China, who lived between the 2nd to 6th century. Each of those masters presented the way of living as a Mahayana Buddhist in everyday life.
I am delighted to deliver this lecture series focusing each master and explain their unique understanding of Mahayana Buddhism from the contemporary aspect. The term “Living” signifies how a Buddhist lives everyday life in the light of Mahayana essence and the wisdom of Pure Land Buddhism.
