#Maitreya #Bodhisattva Statue, Jion-ji, #Japan. This temple was founded by the priest Brahmon on the orders of Emperor Shomu. During the Edo period, it received over 2,000 koku of stamps from the shogunate and flourished as one of the largest temples in the Tohoku region. Cultural properties that trace the flow of #Kyoto's aristocratic culture, such as treasures from the late #Heian period to the Muromachi period, rival those of Hiraizumi Chuson-ji.

If anyone's got any library book (etc) recommendations on different schools of thought in Buddhism, LMK. Daoism/Taoism also cool.

I just want to be able to better describe what I'm feeling. I don't want to step on anyone's toes either.
I hear non-East Asian (like, nationality, not ethnicity?) Buddhists tend to trample all over the cultural shibboleths. (Feels very ironic to me, but in tiniest bit of awareness, we all have our own starting points.) I don't want to contribute to that, where possible.
Thank you.

(Bonus points if there's a Manga Guide to Physics version /j. I prefer reading print but digital is fine too. Text to speech is nice to save my eyes a bit.)
I'm asking because Long Covid and disabilities. No obligation, bitches! Only neutral statements.
