Terri’s comments from the Buddhist group.

You lucky girl! I would love to hear him speak.

You think? LOL. I'm also reading another book right now by him and an american psychiatrist called "The Pursuit of Happiness." In it, he is pretty much in constant motion, speaking at one event or another. Meeting privately with people. I don't think he gets a lot of "down" time.

And he does: http://www.dalailama.com/

I would think if his holiness does surf the web, he would most likely have his own site. Haven't checked yet.

I agree he is good. But he's sooo deep that, like I said some of it I don't get. This is my third Buddhist book so I'm just beginning to learn. I have "A Path with Heart" but haven't started it yet. I have read After the Ecstasy, the Laundry: How the Heart Grows Wise on the Spiritual Path last summer and really enjoyed it. I'm sure when I read it again (and I will) that I'll get more the second time around.

I'm reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King--this is not a HORROR novel. It's actually quite good, a wonderfully absorbing book.

I've also been reading off and on. A lot of it goes way over my head but I'm trying to absorb what I can.

I'm not a practicing Buddhist but I have been read a lot of books about Buddhism as well as those on meditation. I'm very intrigued by it all. I find that it all makes sense to me. I can't see me worshiping the Buddha--but practicing the philosophy? Yes, absolutely.
