To those who started in one tradition then began following another, what was your experience of that transition, and why did you make it?

Oh hey, sorry for the late response. I don't check lemmygrad often. I just wanted to touch on something you said.

There are entire Pure Land traditions focused more on Avalokiteshvara than on Amitabha. If that's what you feel drawn to, then I think that's great. I'd recommend reaching out to u/SentientLight on Reddit. He's a Vietnamese-American (and ML) who practices specifically in an Avalokiteshvara-centered Pure Land lineage. He can definitely help you get started.

Excellent! Thank you--again.
