Conversations

Twice weekly - in addition to my regular daily entry - I will be directing readers to other blog posts in the spirit of generating conversation, and also in the hopes of adding depth and variety to our ongoing dialog about Buddhism, culture, and politics. I hope it proves useful!

Today I'll be focusing on the theme of selflessness.

• I Stay, I Go: Thanks to Carly and Katie for alerting me to this wonderful YouTube video inspired by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Here's a link to the video.
  
• Dharma Bums: In another visually stimulating example of the benefits of selflessness, Roger recounts an endearing tale of tragedy averted. As the saying goes, weedwhackers don't kill birds, people kill birds.
