Skill in Questions – The New Book from Thanissaro Bhikkhu
This via the great Phil Ryan at the Tricycle Editors’ Blog:
Thanissaro Bhikkhu, the maddeningly prolific (at least to other dharma writers, that is) monk from the Thai forest tradition…has a new book out: Skill in Questions. It’s available as a free PDF (3 PDfs, actually) downloadable from dhammatalks.org.
As I blogged recently, “Than Geoff” will be lecturing at University of the West, my home institution, next month. Hope to see you there!
