At
around about 2002 the snail mail Pure Land Notes Journal
that was published quarterly from the 1980's onwards sadly
became no more. The beauty of that old Journal was that
it consisted mainly of contributions from a diverse range
ordinary people who were happy to share their personal experience
of Buddha's Light or their idiosyncratic views of 'the Pure
Land'.
The
Pure Land Buddhist Fellowship was, as all fellowships should
be, eclectic.
The
journal was the singular meeting place (in spirit) of the
Pure Land Buddhist Fellowship so, for all intense and purposes,
when the journal ended the Fellowship also sadly ceased
to be. This website exists to keep alive the 'spirit', essence
and name of the
Pure Land Buddhist Fellowship. I would love to know if there
is anyone out there who lament the demise of the PLBF or
are a person who has in more recent times encountered the
unnamable. Please do simply click on the email
me link
on every page of this site if only to just to let me know
that you are 'out there'. I promice a reply.
It
has been my honour to have several friends who have for
more than 10 years now shared my in passion and belief in
the Buddha's Teachings. These friends are know as the Southampton
Shin/Zen Sangha and we have met together weekly (at the
wheelswithinwheels home dojo) for all of this time to study
and discuss Buddhist practice. Our study never ends, it
just keeps going around and around - and at present we are
simply renewing our efforts and study the basics all over
again. These 'Buddha Study Notes' are shown as links - right
