Buddhism, Pure and Simple
duus | Feb 6 2006
Merlin posted about this book here: for me, it invokes a very similar feeling as properly done GTD. GTD is about the present, the now, the next action; the next physical action. it's the same thing. embracing the now. living life as a series of present moments. 12 Comments

Buddhism is one of those...Submitted by sonia_simone on February 7, 2006 - 12:33pm.
Buddhism is one of those things (like sex & chocolate) that you need to experience in order to really get. The practice is what makes the ideas fully make sense. (It takes a loooong time for some of them to truly click.) I've had a good experience with the Shambhala organization--they were founded by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche specifically as a non-religious organization to teach Buddhist ideas & practices to Westerners. I feel like the central organization has started to lean too far back toward the religious spectrum lately, but the local centers have a lot of classes and a lot of folks who can help you get into this to whatever depth interests you. » POSTED IN:
