Introduction

Namo Amituofo!

My name is Ian with my partner Kelvin, we created this blog "Namo-Amituofo.blogspot.com" as a means to share Pure Land Buddhism theory and practice with anybody who visits this blog.

We are devoted Pure Land Buddhism disciples inspired by the Venerable Master Jin Kong and Venerable Wu Wen with the Amitabha Buddhist Society Singapore and Jakarta.

This blog is intended to be used as a place to share the knowledge of Pure Land teachings and also the many challenges in our daily practice.

Anybody is welcome to participate in this blog, whether you are a Buddhist or a non-Buddhist.

People from different Dharma door, ie. Therevada, Zen, Esoteric, Tian Tai, are also welcome to share your knowledge and view.

If you are a non-Buddhist, take this blog from the daily practice perspective, ie. how we deal with our surroundings, be it good or bad. Just remember, Buddhism is not a religion, it is a teaching on practical ways to deal with life and it's daily occurences.

Lastly, PLEASE NOTE some rules on posting to this blog:
1. You are welcome to share your knowledge and common views on a particular posting topic. However, please remember NOT to excessively use your personal opinion or judgement, because opinion and judgement from a troubled mind, produces a troubled and biased answer.

2. People's background and knowledge are different, so if someone disagrees with your view, please do not get upset and do not start to offend each other. Remember a saying, "If you see everybody else as a layperson, then you are a layperson. But if you see everybody else as a boddhisatva then you yourself is a boddishatva".

Thank you for your participation.
