I'M COMING OUT!
I would like to thank you for the interesting articles by Clark Strand in the last few issues. I enjoyed his interview with Sensei Ogui ("Ordinary Struggles," Summer 2006), representing the Buddhist Churches of America. I also enjoyed Strand's own coming out, so to speak, into the Pure Land ("Born Again Buddhist" Fall 2006). As a Pure Land priest at the Reno Buddhist Church I was pleased with Tricycle's decision to include what Strand correctly points out to be "over half the world's Buddhists."

Strand describes his experience of shinjin (true entrusting) in a poignant way that fits well with the Buddhist understanding of interdependence. The Pure Land surely is the pearl of great price that leads us to wisdom and compassion.
