Random Linkage: Check ins, The Banana Stand, PouzzaBuddha, iMeditation, The Unborn, Beet Cakes

After being fully stoked over my chat with Miguel from Teenage Bottlerocket last week, I careened into a set of weekend talks from Nalandabodhi’s dear Lama Rabten who is visiting our local centre for this auspicious month of May and offering teachings on Lojong. It has been lovely and incredible to be together with my local sangha to study, practice and be present and also the dual opportunity for me to practice my French skills as there is translation from English to French for each talk.

So on my radar as a few items that made an impression lately:

• Check ins and being present from @Mindonly
• Day 219: The Banana Stand
• Pouzza Buddha image from their upcoming Montreal punk festival

• iMeditation - by David Allen McKeel
• The Unborn a blog post by 108 Zen Books is just wonderful. You must read it.

How to sit without the hope that some intense curiosity or vibrant joy will infiltrate, breaking our shell, opening us. If only to see that what we were intended for is no longer possible. And yet, what we are is immense in its possibilities.

• I have to thank dear Fitri for sharing this most meditative cake baking sequence that I’ve ever seen.
