I came across an excellent Pure Land blog called Shin Ugly. The writing is clear, to the point, and direct. The author is an uncompromising Amitabha devotee. There’s no fancy philosophical gibberish here, like you’ll find on my blog, just “plain talk” for “plain people.” Highly recommended! Click here.
I think Marcus has had a link to his blog for a while.. haha
Well spotted Joseph! LOL
Yes, it’s a great blog! And I’m definitely heading in a Shin Ugly direction!
Yeah, great blog. Love the simplicity of it. He strikes me as a bit of a fundamentalist, but we need Pure Land fundies too! And Marcus, sounds perfect for you!
Jihad for the Pure Land!
