Book: Finished

It’s done. Not much to look at, but there you have it. If it is of use to people, I’m happy. If it’s not, well, I guess I still have to be happy… why let my happiness depend on the happiness of others? It is sad to think that inevitably there will be people [...]

WeLoveMonk Shuts Down

My first groupies deserted me… Here’s a note from WeLoveMonk:

Hi yuttadhammo!

We’re fans, as you can tell.

Sorry about the kiss mark. :P We really couldn’t find clip art of a heart, so we figured a silly lip mark will communicate our admiration. (I mean, we don’t wanna kiss you on the lips [...]

Things They Didn’t Teach You In Monk School

Here’s something you don’t get everyday (thankfully ;) )… I’m not sure what to say, other than “danger, danger…” No, really, though, it’s kind of cute – love in its purist form is always a good thing, and I’m not so sexually insecure as to be afraid of such things as this. The lipstick [...]

Posting

First, for those of you who thought you were following me on Twitter, you’re probably not; when I deleted my Facebook account, my Twitter account went with it. Then I realized Twitter is actually useful, so I restored my account with them. It’s a good way to keep up with what I’m doing, especially [...]

Book: Chapter Six

And it’s finished. The PDF will be available here.

Chapter Six: Daily Life

In this final chapter, I will outline some of the ways in which we can incorporate the meditation practice into our daily lives, so that, even when we are not formally meditating, we can still maintain a basic level of mindfulness and clear awareness.
