With a flick of a switch, Zoom provides me with an AI generated summary of each study we hold online. This product is passive. It cannot actually participate or contribute to our discussions, but often, its direct style is an improvement on my more conversational style. The original  smmaries can run to several pages, but conveniently, the AI inserts sub-titles in appropriate places. The pieces presented below are my second edits of these AI summaries. 

Another 30+ SNIPPETS will be uploaded to this site at intervals over the next few months.

Our current study focuses on chapters 1 - 5 in Rev Inagaki's 'Way of Nembutsu Faith'.  This is a verse by verse examination of Shinran Shonin's seminal work, Shoshinge. The current semester is divided into eight blocks - and we spend an hour on each, at the rate of one study session every two weeks. At our next study session, we shall be looking at SESSION FIVE (of eight). You are welcome to use the text in a self-directed study. However, if you would like to parachute into our Zoom sessions, I would be happy to meet with you on Zoom individually to bring you to a point where you could sync in with our existing group.
