The Dharma Has No Owner
"There is a saying that “the dharma has no owner; it belongs to whomever is most diligent.” Sometimes people say, “I don’t have time to devote myself to practice, I’m doing a lot of different things and I am obliged to do them.” But honestly, it’s not that one has to go to some other place and close the door and be quiet in order to practice. That’s not the only way. It’s definitely the case that we can practice at any given moment. More » -

Chronic pain? There's hope.
I've heard plenty about meeting pain with meditation, and there's a whole book about it—or many, but this latest book is one I may read in preparation for old age. Author Tim Parks, inspired by a A Headache in the Pelvis, a book by two Stanford urologists who recommend meditation, decided to give it a try.

A questionable bio: Our editor-at-large's long trip around the Buddhist block (and a few visits to the chopping block)
We always ask for an author's bio when we run an article in the magazine and we usually get something pretty straightforward. Sometimes, the bios are too long (think cv), or include mild forms of self-promotion ("you can read more about her at her website"), or sometimes they are too spare ("he is a writer..." or "he lives with his dog"). But a few years back I received a bio of another order and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. I ended up killing it and asked for something more conventional. More »
