Going Into Rohatsu… Odds and Ends

Starting tonight I’ll be sitting Rohatsu sesshin at Upaya Zen Center, so I’m going to pull myself away from the computer screen for the next eight days. I don’t know how I’ll manage it, but I’m sure that will be good for me. I’m remembering back to last year and how wonderful it was to unplug for a week… and I wrote about that experience here on The Jizo Chronicles.

Before I leave you for a week, a couple of things —

• Congratulations to Renata Golden, who is the winner of the book Not Turning Away in the Great Jizo Book Giveaway. And thanks to all who left comments to enter. Maybe we’ll do this again with another book soon.

• I just launched a new blog called The Liberated Life Project. It’s a sort of “stealth dharma” blog where I share insights and practices to help people live a more awakened life. I hope you’ll visit the site and share it with friends who you think might enjoy it.

Okay, that’s it… off to the cushion! May all of you have a peaceful week.
