a pure land where everything
is only mind, and that there’s a buddha of light

features would it have? When you are looking for
the buddha of infinite light in your own body,

and cruel are like the snow of the northlands,
stilling and freezing, at whose touch
all beings die.

“Concentrate on your
breathing and it will go away,”
Suzuki said.
