Podcasts and Blogs that i like

It has been a long time since I updated my webpage - but I thought it was time to put a few little tidbits up here on things that I like.

the Buddhist geeks logo - used without permission -  but for promotion, which I thought might be okBuddhist Geeks - The Buddhist Geeks website has interesting interviews with all varieties of buddhist teachers, they have a weekly podcast, and a cool t-shirt.

zen is stupid logo - used without permissionZen Is Stupid - The Zen Is Stupid podcast is interesting, and funny. In the words of the Zencast blog "Gwen & Patrick talk openly and frankly about everyday issues and integrating practice into your everyday life."

sfzc logo - used without permission but for promotion - which I hope is okSan Francisco Zen Centre - The SFZC regularly (sometimes more than one per week) podcasts the weekly lectures by their senior dharma teachers. These are always worth a listen and are generally pretty great.

Brad's logo stolen from the top of his blog- used without permission but for promotion - which I hope is okBrad Warner's Hardcore Zen Blog - Straight talking and sometimes controversial, Soto Zen Buddhist teacher Brad Warner publishes a blog which has lots of interesting stuff on it.

private photos

I have some photos that I took at various sesshins etc., however, the photos contain lots of pictures of people and there's every chance that those people don't want their pictures on the internet. To protect their privacy these photos are password protected. If you know me and you think you should be allowed to see these photos - email me and, if I agree, I will send you the details you need to log-in.

Here are some books I like:

I have long since given up reviewing zen books. I'm really bad at writing reviews, besides - who am I to judge?

Instead, this is just a list of books that I happen like. If you click on the book you will be taken to a place where you can buy it. Don't depend on words and letters.
