Pure Land
Buddhism Poetry
John Del Bagno
The Pure Land Way, In Brief
Birth, old age, sickness and death.
Repeat.
Another human form
With our heart-mind
Full of the old familiar dissatisfactions.
Or, we can recite
Amitabha Buddha’s name
To enter his Pure Land in our next life
And become a Buddha.
What is the Buddha-name?

“I write my poems, create my art in hopes of inspiring others to explore Pure Land Buddhism for themselves.
I am not a teacher. I’m a poet sharing inspirations on my way to Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land.”
~John Del Bagno
