Petition to save a 30 year old legacy plant-based brand in Canada - please sign! - Lemmy.World
Yves Veggie Cuisine was the first major plant-based meat brand in Canada, and
now its parent company, Hain Celestial, has announced they are planning to wind
down production and shutter the label. This would have a devastating effect on
vegan alternative meat access in Canada. Yves is not always the first choice,
but it is by far the most accessible one. If a small town grocery store stocks
just one brand it will be Yves, and there is a very high chance that if they
disappear these products will not be replaced with other options - there just
won’t be plant-based meats stocked in these communities any more.

Awakening of Faith in Mahayana - Lemmy.World
Question: If the mind ceases to be, what will become of its continuity? If there
is continuity of mind, how can you explain its final cessation? Answer: What we
speak of as “cessation” is the cessation of the marks of [the deluded] mind only
and not the cessation of its essence. It is like the case of the wind which,
following the surface of the water, leaves the marks of its movement. If the
water should cease to be, then the marks of the wind would be nullified and the
wind would have no support [on which to display its movement]. But since the
water does not cease to be, the marks of the wind may continue. Because only the
wind ceases, the marks of its movement cease accordingly. This is not the
cessation of water. So it is with ignorance; on the ground of the essence of
Mind there is movement. If the essence of Mind were to cease, then people would
be nullified and they would have no support. But since the essence does not
cease to be, the mind may continue. Because only stupidity ceases to be, the
marks of the [stupidity of the] mind cease accordingly. It is not that the
wisdom (i.e., the essence) of Mind ceases.

Opening the Hand of Thought quote - Lemmy.World
“If we actually touch fire, we will certainly be burned, but if we merely say
the word fire without actually touching it, we won’t be burned. Likewise, if we
only think of the word fire, our heads will not be set ablaze. Therefore, the
definition of fire, whose nature is to burn all things, cannot itself be the
reality of it.” Kosho Uchiyama
見返り阿弥陀 Mikaeri Amida - Lemmy.World
This is my favorite statue of Amida Buddha, and it is unique since Amida is
depicted in the act of looking back, quite strange considering its standard
representation According to the legend behind the statue, in 1082, in Eikandō’s
Amida-dō Hall, in the dim hours before dawn on February the fifteenth, a miracle
occurred. The monk Eikan (1033–1111) was deep in his daily practice of
circumambulating a statue of Amida Buddha while reciting Amida’s name. Eikan
believed that by diligently performing this practice—called the nenbutsu—he
could achieve rebirth in Amida’s western paradise, where enlightenment was
guaranteed. It is recorded that Eikan recited the nenbutsu 60,000 times each
day. As he paced around the statue, Eikan saw something that made him freeze on
the spot: the wooden statue of Amida gracefully descended from its lotus-shaped
dais and began to walk ahead of him, as if leading him toward paradise. As Eikan
gaped in amazement, Amida paused. He looked back over its left shoulder, to
where Eikan stood dumbstruck. “Eikan, stop dawdling,” said Amida. It is believed
that Eikan was so inspired by this vision of Amida urging him forward to the
Pure Land that he begged the statue to remain in the same posture in order to
inspire others. The “Looking-back Amida” (Mikaeri Amida) has been at Eikandō
ever since. 南無阿弥陀仏🙏🏼
Long Scroll, section 31 - Lemmy.World
> “What do you call the Great Way that is very easy to recognize and easy to
practice. But which no one in the world can recognize and practice. Please show
it to me.” > “These words are right. Living apart from the world and hold the
mind aloof to it, not doing a single thing, is called practicing the way. Not
seeing a single thing is called seeing the way. Not knowing a single thing is
called cultivating the way. Not practicing a single thing is called practicing
the way. It is also called easy to know and is also called easy to practice.”

Ippen’s poem on the Name of Amida Buddha - Lemmy.World
The Name of the Buddha of Infinite Life, Whose brilliance outshines the lights
of other Buddhas, Is above relative planes of delusion and enlightenment; So he
is praised as the Buddha of Inconceivable Light. When we receive this teaching
with joyful faith, The Buddha and we sentient beings are no longer separated;
Because his three modes of acts and ours correspond to each other, He is also
called the Buddha of Unhindered Light.

佛道をならふといふは、自己をならふ也。自己をならふといふは、自己をわするるなり。自己をわするるといふは、萬法に證せらるるなり。萬法に證せらるるといふは、自己の身心および他己の身心をして落せしむるなり。悟迹の休歇なるあり、休歇なる悟迹を長長出ならしむ。
To study the Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things of the universe. To be
enlightened by all things of the universe is to cast off the body and mind of
the self as well as those of others. Even the traces of enlightenment are wiped
out, and life with traceless enlightenment goes on forever and ever.

Amitabha Buddha appearance in PomPoko - Lemmy.World
Yesterday I watched this movie for the first time, and although I already knew
there was a scene with Amitabha Buddha, I didn’t expect so many reference spread
all over. Anyway, it is a really nice movie, with many important topics, I
highly suggest it!

Be aware of Zalando, it uses Amazon shipping - Lemmy.World
I don’t know if someone already knew, but I didn’t. I ordered a couple of shoes,
and when I received the shipping information email, I read the courier name was
Amazon shipping. Don’t know if it depends on the country too, I’m from Italy.
Anyway, really unfortunate.

Four Alternatives of Yongming Yanshou - Lemmy.World
Having Chan but lacking the Pure Land, nine out of ten will stray from the path;
when the realm of the aggregates appears before them, they will instantly follow
it. Lacking Chan but having the Pure Land, ten thousand out of ten thousand who
practice it will go [to rebirth]. Having seen Amitābha, why worry that one might
not attain enlightenment? Having both Chan and Pure Land, one is like a tiger
with horns [i.e., doubly capable]. Such a person will be a teacher in the
present life, and a buddha or patriarch in future lives. Lacking both Chan and
the Pure Land, it will be the iron beds and bronze pillars [of hell] for ten
thousand kalpas and a thousand lives with no one to turn to. 南無阿弥陀仏🙏🏻
