Inner Twitter

The Feeling Buddha has inspired a new website called Inner Twitter. The creator, called Todd, sent us an e-mail about it. This is great. Now we can all Twitter inwardly - though, in fact, it is more orientated to awareness of surroundings than to inwardness as such. It is interesting how the word "inward" has become a synonym for spirituality even when that spirituality is outwardly directed. Thanks Todd - great idea!

E-Sangha Discussion

There is currently animated discussion of The Feeling Buddha on
E-Sangha

Thanks Marcus

In his entry for 27th April Marcus Journal has a very nice appreciation of The Feeling Buddha. A point that he particularly brings out is that Buddhism is as much or even more transmitted through the practice as through the word.

"Brazier's astounding, and totally convincing, presentation of the Four Noble Truths, albeit based upon a translation he provides himself, is radical and liberating"

Heartland

There is a nice page about The Feeling Buddha book at http://www.heartlandsangha.org/feeling.html based on a seminar that Caroline and I gave for the Heartland Sangha some years ago. It gives a neat summary of the argument of the book. Thank you.
