Closing Thoughts

Pure Land Buddhist practice is not confined to learning about particular Buddhist principles and
chanting a sutra or the Buddha's name while bowing, sitting, or walking. Our practice is the development of a calmer, purer mind so we will learn to think and behave as a Buddha in everything we do.
   
We strive to achieve this mindset through the previous practices as well as through less formal practice. How? By reminding ourselves daily that while all of us have many shortcomings, we should only be concerned with our own. By understanding causality and not blaming others for the difficulties in our lives. And by realizing that all beings suffer and that only when we awaken can we truly help others to be free from pain.
 
Ultimately, our practice will enable us to have loving-kindness and patience held equally and joyfully for all.
