Sorry for the late replies: <strong>Jeremias:</strong> That's what I thought. I read somewhere women in Japan used that dust for facial powder too. :) <strong>John Gordon:</strong> Welcome to the JLR and thank you. I saw you on the JSBG too. As for the search engine, thanks for the idea. I setup one yesterday and a category list. I'd do tags, but it's too late to backfill all the posts I think. I'll give it some thought. <strong>Johnl:</strong> I wasn't aware of the plants idea. That's pretty interesting. I've used the extra grains and such (sent from my in-laws in Japan) and I like it a lot. Hi Everyone! Sorry for the late replies:

The whiteish water that you pour off the rice after washing is good for your plants. 2. A friend told me that the rice for prisoners in Japan is not washed before cooking. 3. You can buy a special product in Japan that will provide the extra grains and extra nutrition that can be added to rice before cooking. Never used it myself. 1.

I was brought up in a Chinese Pure Land household, though I'm a Tibetan Buddhist. I've always loved reading about Honen in particular, in addition to Shinran. Would you be able to add a search engine or tag system to your blog? I was hoping to search through your archive of posts to focus strictly on the Buddhism related posts. Also, there was a blog post you made on how to use the Jodo Shu Juzu. I was interested in how it's used with the extra ring for counting. Any possibility of making a short youtube video for it? :) First off, I think your blog is great! I was brought up in a Chinese Pure Land household, though I’m a Tibetan Buddhist.
