Heard by Us: Dharma as received by students under the guidance of Rev. Dr. Nobuo Haneda

What is the starting point of Buddhism? Nobuo Haneda returns to this question again and again. Within a tradition of interpreting Shinran Shonin (1173-1263) that began with Manshi Kiyozawa (1863-1903), Haneda's Dharma talks are sessions of "studying out loud." The spirit of studentship permeates Haneda's written and spoken words. He shares the gift of self-examination with those willing to listen to the uncompromising call to "Come to Wisdom!" found in the teaching of the nembutsu: Namu Amida Butsu. In this anthology, ten classmates who have benefited greatly from Dr. Haneda's studies express their gratitude.
