Just a quick post before I do morning Gongyo (Buddhist Practise) later than usual, but I listened to a podcast last night which was a Buddhist Study by Jason Jarrett which clarified the Faith/Practise/Study aspect which sometimes seems convuluted and complicated. He quoted Something from Daisaku Ikeda which (paraphrased) said:
Faith
Faith is to believe in the Buddha nature of all people, whoever they are
Practise
Practise is to awaken the Buddhahood in ourselves and also in others
Study
Study is to study the philosophy of respecting the lives of all human beings
Thought that was pretty good and to the point ... so on to gongyo .. maybe more later
Yeah that is a great and simple way to view it... I like that
