Dharma Talk for the Week of August 22nd, 2011
by Danny Fisher
I did a little teaching this past week for Tricycle: The Buddhist Review in celebration of their twentieth anniversary. (FYI, the brand new Fall 2011 issue celebrates this momentous occasion. In addition, Supporting and Sustaining Members can download a new e-book, which collects some of the magazine’s best writing over twenty years, for free here. If you’re not a member, join Trike now and you can still get the e-book for a limited time.) The magazine asked about twenty of us to offer a small teaching on gratitude, and I’m happy to have been able to contribute something that they found useful. You can read the teaching, which will serve as this week’s “Dharma Talk,” on Tricycle‘s blog here.
And, of course, I must say: Congratulations, Trike!! Here’s to many more years of life…
Lastly, I should mention that in the piece I talk about one of my first Buddhist teachers, the late Godwin Samararatne. You can find out more about him at www.godwin-home-page.net. Like so many, I miss his gentle presence in our world very much, and would like to dedicate the merit of this piece to him…
