Shawn Miller commented on the blog post 'Dealing with all these Mothers!'""If what you are doing works, why try to fix it?" Narcisstic attachment doesn't work, it contaminates all minds, it is "subtle and deep seated", to me that is the problem.

Fleet Maull Retreat Week 3 Begins Today!
Week 3 of Fleet Maull's online retreat, "Social Awakening: Realizing the Basic Goodness of Society," starts today! Throughout the month of May, Fleet will present a series of talks on how individuals can broaden their sense of spiritual path towards a more collective, societal level. This week's talk, "Social Virtuosity: Developing Confidence and Resilience Through the Discovery of Basic Goodness " is about learning how to settle into the fluidity that being open and trusting possesses. Through this fluidity, we will truly understand why society couldn't be anything other than innately good. Also, we will be able to establish a resilience to such an outlook, embracing our society no matter how hot and fetid its problems become.

Mainstream media has done it again. I'm sure you've heard already, but neuroscience and meditation are the new "It" couple. This week the NY Times joins the fray in an article that is essentially a roundup of the different benefits that meditation can have on the brain. In addition to citing a few studies at various universities around the country, they trot out 63-year-old Buddhist practitioner Katherine Splain, who claims that her long meditation practice helped her finish an 80-page master's thesis—when she was 60.
Tragedy strikes an American Buddhist Community
On April 22nd, Ian Thorson, a 38-year-old Buddhist practitioner, died in a cave near Geshe Michael Roach’s Diamond Mountain University and Retreat Center in Arizona. Thorson's body was found attended by his wife, Christie McNally, Roach's former student and partner, known to the Diamond Mountain Community, and globally, as “Lama Christie.” While there hasn't yet been any major media coverage of Thorson's death and the circumstances surrounding it, the Buddhist blogosphere is commenting on it extensively.
