Freedom and Consciousness
The gift bequeathed to us by the Buddha is the possibility of seeing how consciousness can become liberated from desire, allowing it to cognize objects more intimately without the intermediary epiphenomenon of a subject. When desire is replaced by equanimity, and awareness of all phenomena thus unfolds without reference to self, we gain the freedom to move along with change rather than setting ourselves against it. -Andrew Olendzki, "Self as Verb" (Summer 2005) Read the complete article here.

I recommend checking out Musings by author, teacher, translator—and blogger—Ken McLeod. An excellent teacher, McLeod does just this in the vast majority of his blog: He teaches. Through simple practice tips and personal reflections, McLeod strikes an impressive balance between simplicity and depth which makes his blogs both instantly accessible as well as very useful. It is very practice-oriented and can serve as a great online resource for any regular meditator with an internet connection.
