Guest guest Posted September 23, 1999 Report Share Posted September 23, 1999 Hi, If anyone will be in St. Louis on Oct 3, we are having a Mindfulness Day at the Thai Buddhist temple on Lindsey Lane in North County. It will be from 1-5 pm, and will consist of practise examples from each of our traditions (thai, tibetan, zen etc), story telling & presentations. All are welcome! The Greater St. Louis Buddhist Council (or whatever we finally decided to call ourselves) is putting this on to facilitate communication and openness between our traditions. And also, we are all curious about how each other approaches the Dharma . maitri, --Janpa Tsomo aka | Debora A. Orf | Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, | dorf01 | For you are crunchy, | | And taste good with Ketchup. http://www.win.org/library/staff/webweaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have long enjoyed you poems and thoughtful and insightful comments. ( Please just skip the current silliness posts, if its bothering you, ok? Never can tell when some fun is needed by people...) My first experience was with Thich Nhat Hanh, reading and attending a retreat..then recently some learning of Tibetan. I may start attending an actual Tibetan group, once I face up to spending spending the whole day there. Yet my reading has been mostly Zen focused, soI feel uncertain about actually choosing one over the other. I hope you and everyone else understands that my postings on the history of Buddhism are based on what is said in the book, and not claiming any personal expertise by any means. Love, Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No path goes nowhere. The Radical Truth is Radiance of Awareness. It is Total Independence and Ever Present. The Truth needs no psychological or spiritual crutches. It needs no philosophy, no religion, no explanation, no teaching, and no teacher, and yet It is always their support. A true devotee relishes in the Truth. The Truth of Self-Knowledge which is Pure Intelligence. Welcome all to a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
