On the inconceivability of the Primal Vow and the role of various other Dharma Gates
This presentation and discussion is part of the “Topics of examination for those who want to become lay teachers or monks and nuns in Amidaji branch of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism”. Kosho Arana, the main speaker here, is a candidate for monkhood (priesthood).
By listening to all the videos in the playlist related with the examinations you will acquire very good knowledge of the general Buddhist teaching and the specific Jodo Shinshu doctrines. As you can see in these videos, Amidaji has well prepared members and it’s a team work, with people capable to continue our Dharma mission to spread the true, orthodox Jodo Shinshu Buddhist teaching.
