you must see this

i’m so grateful to the TED lectures, posted for free on the web. but this lecture by neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor is something you just must see. it’s 18 minutes long. and describes her own experience of having a stroke, and what she learned from that experience about compassion and perspective.

TED has a category of talks that relate to mind, if you have an appetite for more.

pictures from my recent retreat

this photo was taken by the jovial monk paden from gampo abbey. you’ll find the pictures i took on flickr, starting with an incredible sunrise and including a picture i took of paden cleaning his oryoki set after lunch.
