In this episode, Dhammamegha interviews Nagapriya, author of the forthcoming book: The Promise of a Sacred World: Shinran’s Teaching of Other Power. It is due out in early September 2022.  Nagapriya encountered the writings of the Japanese Pure Land teacher Shinran at a point of crisis in his own spiritual life. After a decade of enthusiastic striving towards enlightenment, Nagapriya came up against the limits of self-directed practice. In that moment, Shinran and Other Power opened a different way of thinking about enlightenment and a life in the Dharma.  I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Nagapriya about his life and practice. In this generous and spacious interview – I found him warm and deeply thoughtful about what it means to be a Buddhist. Through reflection, mythic and poetic thinking, Nagapriya explores Shinran’s existential liberation, and the nature of connection, openness and encounter with something beyond the known self.  Subscribe to our newsletter to get notified about the book’s release and launches   Links:  Order online from your nearest independent bookshop or:  Buy The Promise of the Sacred World (Europe) Buy The Promise of the Sacred World (US & Canada) About Nagapriya  FutureDharma Fund Follow Windhorse Publications on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
