Chris,
To the contrary. I do not recommend Big Mind , necessarily. In fact, I have
said here that it is not a process that works for me. It seems a bit like group
therapy, but not about zen. I know it well, as I have a home in UT, (though I
live in CA). Gempo Roshi's zen center is just two miles from my home there.
I did attend many meditation groups , classes and even a few retreats
there.. I am friends with Diane Musho Hamilton, and she received her
transmission from Gempo Roshi. Actually, I have been critical of this teaching
model in the past, but now-- Well, I truly feel that there are different
methods that work for different personalities and cultures. So, if one finds
Big Mind meaningful, thats okay by me. I don't believe in one recipe. I do
think it may attract people who would not normally include zen, or any
spiritual practice in their lives. If so, then, I think there is a benefit to
society at large.
I mentioned athlete, as you seem to be a cyclist, and you mentioned how
poignantly your sweat cools on your shirt. I was going to add that I was very
impressed. Not only are you getting exercise, you are reducing your carbon
footprint, and saving trees by using an e-reader;)
I will definitely look at the book your children enjoy. Might be a fun
surprise for my nephew.
Take care,
Kristy

I'm no athlete. I do read excessively.
Kristy should actually not read any Brad Warner books as he is pretty mean to
Big Mind (tm) which I recall she recommended, or perhaps some related integral
institute thing?
He does have a book called "Sit Down and Shut Up," which my kids find amazingly
funny.
Thanks,
Chris Austin-Lane

Anthony,
No-- Don't plan a survey, nor can I offer any descriptions on that topic. Chris
read the book. As an athlete and being well-read, I bow to his expertise..
Be well,
Kristy

Kristy,
If you are conducting a survey, I am a 1 star, dragging down the number.
I am interested in the Buddhist exploration of sex. Probably you can give a
short description.

Anthony,
Not to interrupt the dialogue here, but I happened to see this when searching a
medical topic. *!*??($...@^ ????
Have you read this? I'm assuming no one here is buying from Amazon...
Have a good week:) k
