Random Linkage: Wilco, Punk Rock Engaged Buddhists, Being Nobody
2014 August 3
Time for a long overdue bit of random linkage. It’s been a while folks. Busy with work and head down with practice and study. I’m also amping myself up for some Montreal Dharma Punx action which I’ve let slip.
- Engaged Buddhism Magazine shared an awesome punk show review slash meditation session.
- I am loving your artwork Chris Piascik.
- Glimpses of Yarne is a great short documentary from Kent Martin showing the full on awesomeness of Gampo Abbey.
- I’m currently reading ‘Be Nobody’ by Lama Marut and it’s pretty good. It reminds me quite a bit of the writing of The Naked Monk (aka Stephen Schettini). I’m also dipping a toe into the new Mark Epstein book ‘The Trauma of Everyday Life’ and I really have to say that I’m enjoying it fully.
- I need a human version hat like this for wearing at the meditation center.
- Lastly, I’ve been doing a bit of reading and practice on the topic of impermanence based on some feedback from my supersmart and uber incisive Practice Instructor. I was watching a Tiny Desk concert with Wilco last night and reminded of the chorus of ‘War on War’. This needs to become my ringtone. (The singalong starts at 14:28)

You have to learn how to die
if you want to want to be alive, okay?
