tinybuddhist SG I think this is where i post, but anyway I am new here to this forum. I am a Mahayana Buddhist Pure Land. I have been learning it for 2 years but i was born into a Mahayana buddhist family. The thing is my family doesn't practice buddhism alot. So i came to be the only one in the family that practice and recite alot and daily. I would love to learn more about Pure land Buddhism and wisdom and knowledge from others. I am 15 years old from U.S. ^__^ Nice to meet you all.
