Random Linkage: Smarts from the Indie Spiritualist, Tashi Mannox, M.E.A.L.S and furry wisdom
I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on the web these days both for my 9-5 as well as in helping my sangha update our website. That hasn’t stopped me from some things crossing my path in the online realm so here’s a few things I wanted to share.
- This post titled ‘Violence, Blood, Broken Bones and Other Joys of Meditation’ over at the Indie Spiritualist puts it out there. PS- I’m on Chapter 5 of his new book and it’s super good.
- Tashi Mannox, an artist that I hoot on and on about on this blog will be in North America delivering a workshop and a presentation at the Rubin so if you can, do check him out. Here’s a short film on his work:
- Mondo Samu is starting a group with the incredibly smart acronym of M.E.A.L.S. - Mindful Eating and Living Sangha which will be a year-long book club that will:
- Recite the Five Reflections
- Share a Mindful Eating Experience
- Read and discuss the book Savor, by Thich Nhat Hanh
- Practice Mindful Movement
Mondu states that:
My hope is that this year-long grassroots-group exploration will deepen my own practice further, help others establish mindfulness as a way of healthy living, and - hopefully - encourage them to go out and spread the practice through starting similar groups the following year, and so on. If successful, it could see a viral growth since those who complete the year, may hopefully create groups of their own and repeat the process, again and again.
If you are so inclined, do get in touch with him. He’s doing great work with online Buddhist communities and this should be an interested exploration.
- I feel this way about my dogs… Just had to share it.
