    All famous painters have one thing in common; an element makes the painting come alive. Whether it is a pose, a color, lighting, or brush stroke, without it the painting is dull and uninteresting. The author likens compassion as that element in healing. “To be compassionate is to be moved in our guts, to mysteriously experience another's pain.” (p. 197) Murren says the church may be a poor place for addicts and hurting people to seek help.…

    In Tamura Yoshirō’s description of Shinran, it is evident how the idea of nonduality has influenced Shinran’s idolization of the Pure Land teachings. His approach to Pure Land Buddhism was impacted by Honen, who introduced him to the practice of Pure Land nembutsu but was mainly composed with his beliefs, such that “within human existence there is an ideal realm of enlightenment” (Yoshirō, 99). Yoshirō describes Shinran’s notion of Pure Land teachings as being capable of “affirming empirical reality.” This is quite confusing when considering the meaning of the word “empirical” and the postmortem goals pursued by Pure Land Buddhism.…

Throughout the album, works are contrasted within each other by style changes and time signature variation; yet despite their unfamiliar form, the tunes still manage to provide a solid,…
