Question:
Recently a F.B. friend of mine has
starting posting statements that "I and Amida are one and the same." This
person is an avid reader of Ippen Shonin, the Hijiri, and has come to share
many of the Zen / Pure Land views that Ippen taught concerning interconnection
of all things. Personally I cannot agree with this line of thought as I see it
as presumptuous, arrogant and quite possibly slanderous.
Please give me your take on this line of thinking and tell me if you think it
goes against the teachings of our Pure Land Masters.
