Correction: left Jodo Shinshu, not Jodo Shu. See post titled "Parting Ways with Jodo Shinshu". :) Got tired of Shinshu culture among other things.
Did try Shingon for a time, but didn't get far. It's just not possible to practice alone, without enough people for support and lately I've found support from a Jodo Shu group, so that's been nice. There's more to it, but that's the story I'm sticking with for now.
Technically though I've not decided to commit to anything for the time, but I have enough of a background in Pure Land that I can post a thing or two on the subject.
Didn't realize you read my blog by the way, I don't believe we've met. :)
Al: If the Shinshu priest agrees, I think he'd be a much more suitable choice quite frankly.
