“Minister’s Assistant Reverend Elaine Donlin shares a dharma talk titled “The Ocean of All Beings” for the Online Sangha Service for Sunday, December 20, 2020 at the Buddhist Church of San Francisco.”

Quoted Scripture:

Those who feel uncertain of birth should say the nembutsu aspiring first for their own birth. Those who feel that their own birth is completely settled should, mindful of the Buddha’s benevolence, hold the nembutsu in their hearts and say it to respond in gratitude to that benevolence, with the wish, “May there be peace in the world, and may the Buddha’s teaching spread!”
