wyantyanSince I spent too much money on mangas I'm also returning to unread books that have been on my shelf for some time now.
For example, I think I was a bit overenthusiastic after listening to a presentation by Rev. Patti Nakai and got the "Soga Ryojin Reader". I haven't read (nor understood for that matter) much. But I dusted off the book today and started rereading the essay "A Savior On Earth". Sure, there's still stuff that I don't understand or agree with. But this passage really spoke to me:
"[Dharmakara] deigned to be born directly in the heart-mind of us human beings. This calling voice directed at all sentient beings of the ten directions did not come from the high world of pure light, nor was it uttered objectively by one human person. This voice arose from the dark breast of suffering of each human being. That the Primal Vow of Dharmakara Bodhisattva is called the ark on the great ocean of samsara intimates that the calling voice arose from the depth of my soul, from right under my feet."
