i have readers who are not buddhists. in fact, i'm not sure i'm a buddhist. i just sit.

thank you, william. nice meeting you too. i am figuring out wordpress as i go. you CAN just start and change templates and add widgets later, i believe. so far it's been a lot easier than i thought...

Nice blog.....and what a great thing to do. I am just starting one as well, ironically named Off The Cushion, but am still in the messing around with wordpress and templates stage. You are just writing, the thing to do, Appamada at work, off the cushion. Nice meeting you today.



Appamada is not just the occasional mindful thought or attentive state of mind, it’s actually a commitment to being attentive. It’s more than just a meditative state of mind, it’s more than just being mindful. It has to do with that primary ethical or moral orientation we have in life, with which we bring into being whatever activity we’re engaged in. Whether in formal meditation, in our interactions with other people, in our social concerns, or in our political choices, it’s the energetic cherishing of what we regard as good.
