Reading Eiseman’s “Bali: Sekala & Niskala” on Balinese religion, ritual, and art.

I hadn’t realized that the “Mu” as “no” in Chinese is the same “no” used in the Heart Sutra: No Eye, No Ear, No Nose, No Tongue, etc.

Hilarious: http://bit.ly/aFgjsq

Is it me or does “Mu” look a lot like Cthulhu’s face? There may be a cosmic mystery here. http://bit.ly/aP9FQD

Taking motorcycle classes with Mrs. OpenBuddha this week.

OMFG! Done! Finally! Free at last!

Ordination of Theravadan nuns by nuns at Spirit Rock this last week: http://huff.to/b7Krj5 – Big news.

Ordered irreverent Buddhist t-shirt! Love the ‘stache! Will wear to next retreat. http://bit.ly/a21wfA

Oh, and I’d still pay good money for an electronic edition of Stephen’s Hodge’s translation of the Mahavairocanabhisambodhi. I can spell it!

All right, back to Chinul.

There is little more stultifying that rigid, hierarchical, institutionalized Buddhism. Not all institutions but many. Where is awakening?

There is little worse than another warmed over rehash of Buddhism 101 or psychology and Buddhism or similar pap. Relevancy to non-Boomers…

Transcription of the Bennet GD notebooks done this fall. I want to write a Buddhist book but need to find a useful topic of actual value.

For those keeping track, insomnia issue (falling asleep) mostly solved but I continue to awake five or more times a night. Still using CPAP.

Wanted to go hiking with missus. Trapped inside reading Chinul for final paper for Chinul class.
