Have you read “Buddhism, plain and simple”?

We share many ideas and have gone through a similar awakening. As most of the people commenting here, I wish we could all gather around a coffee table to discuss that book and others...

Please, if you haven’t read it, consider doing so :)



I will. Have not. Thanks.

That gathering would be epic, very high value.

I was touched by this. Made me think of things I had set aside.

A little dismayed I got negative votes. Was just sharing. Maybe unwise, but like I said, Jo and what he is experiencing...

Yeah, a gathering to just chat, share, good, bad, would have high value.


I have also just put a (used) copy in my Amazon basket.

@ddingus - ignore the haters. I also shared elsewhere on this thread and fully expect to take a vote hit. Sharing shouldn't be about other people, it's about you. If there's anything this whole thread and linked article should tell us, it's that we are all individual people with our own histories and personalities, and each one of us is just as precious as every other.


Really, it's a signal. A simple query: am I alone in this? Have you experienced this?

And it is sent, not requiring a response. More like just that signal, Others May hear, get something from.


Indeed we are. And oh so fragile!

:D
