Book of the Month Selection for January 2010
Not Turning Away: The Practice of Engaged Buddhism
by Susan Moon (Shambhala) -- an anthology of some of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship's best articles from the Turning Wheel Journal and divided into three sections.

The third section shifts away from the anecdotal toward the analytical, including the roots of engaged Buddhism and suggestions for teaching children.Latest Activity

Haiku For Tsubaki Sensei
the mirror I stare into
shows my teacher's face.
Misogi Bells ring...
Black hakama and Dogi

Sitting at crossroads
far into winter
