We had seven in session #5. The closing words of encouragement I provided was as follows:
Meditation is a great way to bring us back to ourselvesWhere we can really experience our full being, beyond all our unhealthy habitual patterns. In the stillness and silence of meditation, we can return to that deep inner connection that [...]
I was deeply honored to lead the Diamond Bar English session on July 13, 2008, as Brother JMJM and Sister Emily were out of town. I have been reading several books on the Zero-Point Field, Akashic Field, and Consciousness written by several well renowned physicists who are leaders in their field. While much of it [...]
One of the things brought up at our Chan retreat was the word “Zen” and the karma attached to it from the War. How here in the West it has become a life style not so much a spirtual path. I had heard something before in another reading elsewhere, about if the elders of the [...]

It is from outside in. From the body to the mind to the spirit.
Thus I have heard.

I came across an article called a Buddhist Response to Global Warming. The Title reminded me of Brother Ronald’s post on that subject and my post about Karma and Environment. Following that title I came across this website Ecological Buddhism.
It was interesting to read some other Buddhist thoughts on our spiritual connection & responsibly to [...]

His teaching is the teaching of the universe. [...]
