Two Cool Resources

I owe the first to Will Harryman of Integral Options Cafe.

It is http://www.opensourcebuddhism.org/ – filled with great up to date and interdisciplinary (i.e. interesting) videos and papers examining Buddhism.

The second I owe to my friend Matt, with whom I have been studying Pali and the Metta Sutta for the last 4 months or so.

That one is http://www.ashokaedu.net/coursesM/18/mettasutta1.htm – an incredibly detailed and interactive study of the Metta Sutta. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. As Matt said to me when he told me about it, it’s the “be all, end all.”

‘Tis all I have for now. In more personal news, my job as Administrative Officer at the Center for Ethics here has officially ended (which means the work will end in reality in a week or two hopefully). I’m now just a very part-time computer specialist there and a full-time ph.d. student (again, at last!).

I’ll write more about all of that soon, and more about just about everything (photos too!) as I should now have lots of time to devote to my deep thoughts on Buddhism, Ethics, Ecology, Montana, and more.

It’s summer time in Montana and today there is no place in the world I would rather be.

Ok, ok, some photos:
