Say…what?


I've finally arrived in Korea!  I got to the temple around midnight last night, but more on that in a moment. First, I must say I had a great time during Shakya's visit to the Midwest.  He said one of his favorite things was horseback riding, and I must agree.  We also spent a total of 3 nights ...>

I’ve Returned to Normal


I'm back in my hometown of Normal, IL now visiting family before taking off for South Korea.  My nephews Tommy (five 1/2) and Danny (2) are cute as can be.  They both call me "Uncle Buddha."  Danny doesn't know me so well, so he's a bit shy still, but he's warming up to me, I think.My dad has go ...>

Well, perhaps not middle America. Not yet anyway. And I always feel a twinge of unease when I use the word America to designate only the United States -- but "somewhere in Middle United States" doesn't have the same ring to it. Somewhere in the not so middle continental U.S. would be more accurate. ...>

The Buddha at Huffington Post

Check it out, the Buddha makes an appearance in a Huffingtonpost.com commentary. The usual lack of texture, but hey, it is not supposed to be a philosophical tract. A quick read of the comments is perhaps most revealing about how people see Buddhism, and political action seen through a "buddhist le ...>
