Any path you take as a profession, you need your mentor who can guide you to the right direction. Living in the Buddha-Dharma is the same thing. Our founder Shinran selected his seven teachers from India, China, and Japan to learn the Pure Land Buddhism. They are called the Pure Land Seven Masters. This lecture talks about the first master Bodhisattva Nagarjuna and the second master Bodhisattva Vasubandhu in India, and the third master Tanluan in China, who lived between the 2nd to 6th century. Each of those masters presented the way of living as a Mahayana Buddhist in everyday life. You will also learn the Buddhist principles of Inter-dependence and Yogacara consciousness-only.
