Nudge - Week 9 - Humility and Reflection
This week let us look at the beautiful wisteria flower that is the symbol of the Jodo Shinshu Tradition. The beautiful flowers of the wisteria plant hang ever so gently from their stems symbolizing humility and reflection. Let us always remember to take the time to reflect and be humble when living a life in the Nembutsu. We are grateful for the opportunity to hear the Dharma and to know the teachings of our founder, Master Shinran Shonin. Living in Amida's Vow is all the more reason to be humble and reflect upon this great life we live.
Let your journal page, this week, reflect the beauty of the wisteria flower and your faith in Compassion and Wisdom! Namu Amida Butsu!
