Yup. I'm back from 12 days at Tassajara. As soon as I get a minute I'm gonna write down some of my thoughts on Tassajara specifically as well as monastic practice in the modern world in general. Hopefully I won't offend all the very wonderful friends I made up there in Carmel Valley as well as in the Bay Area. My general impression of Tassajara is that I love, love, love the place. But my love isn't unconditional.
Anyway, more about that when I have time to write coherently.
I hope you've all gone over and read my interview with porn superstar and Zen Buddhist Nina Hartley on Suicide Girls. Like all the stuff I write for Suicide Girls, you can look at this without joining the site and without any danger of accidentally seeing naked titties. This represents about half of the actual interview I conducted and I'm hoping the publish the full version elsewhere. Stay tuned.
Those of you in North Carolina and its environs, check out the link in the post below this one for info on the retreat I'll be leading next week at the Southern Dharma Retreat Center. And cheeseheads in Milwaukee take note I'll be in your neighborhood in mid-May. The info is also in the post below.
Rock on.
