We were very pleased to have a visit from the head of our Order, Dharmavidya, to our Amida Newcastle sangha meeting yesterday evening. The sangha were introduced to the '1,000 nembutsu' chanting practice and Dharmavidya talked about Pureland practice in terms of relationship. It was a very warm and touching evening with the meeting up of long-term friends and our newer members.
