Paths of Practice with Muichi

Muichi is a Cuban-American Mahayana Buddhist layman and Wikipedian currently residing in Florida. Muichi's Buddhist refuge name is Abhayajñāna (originally given in Tibetan as Yeshe Jigme), which means "Fearless Wisdom" (Ch: 無畏智 Wúwèi zhì, Jp.: Muichi). Muichi's contributions to Wikipedia are mainly in the fields of Buddhist Studies, Asian History and Eastern philosophy. Muichi's knowledge of these fields is mainly self taught, having no formal education in these particular subjects. Muichi mostly studied Greco-Roman history and languages while receiving a B.A. in History from Florida International University and later began to study Eastern philosophy and Buddhist studies as an autodidact.For more information about Muichi and the resources mentioned in this episode, please visit the following links:https://sites.google.com/view/abhayajana/home?authuser=0https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Javierfv1212https://www.youtube.com/@FearlessWisdomWe talked about:*Dharanis, moderating the PureLand subreddit, and contributing to Buddhism-related Wikipedia articles*Studying philosophy as a lived experience, Western philosophical materialism, and developing space for Eastern religious thought and practice*Pure Land Buddhism, collective translation and re-translation efforts, providing open source study guides and FAQs, and The Fearless Wisdom podcast*And the importance of studying Buddhism broadly and how Mahayana Buddhism is all about love
