Introducing Zen Buddhism: Some Brief Online Resources

Dear Laurie,

It was wonderful meeting you at our Tuesday evening gathering for zazen. We look forward to you and your friends visiting with us on Saturday.

I offered to provide some simple introductory resources. Here’s a quick offering of links to articles I’ve written on Buddhism and Zen.

I hope you find them helpful.
