It's April once more

I have not written anything. Put down by disappointments in life and the struggle to find meaning. I have started learning Buddhism as early as October last year.

I really think that the idea of the nembutsu was just a replacement of the monotheistic God saving a person from suffering. It's Buddhism acting like a monotheistic religion. But I need to learn more about Shin Buddhism and what makes it work for many Japanese and people around the world.

It's also cherry blossom time and we Filipinos have our wonderful flowers but most of them will be in bloom in May.
