Note on the New “Donate” Button

The above button doesn’t work … but you’ll see the real one in the right sidebar – an easy way offer dana for sesshin, classes, or just because you like this blog (Wild Fox Zen is a 501C3 nonprofit).

Also, I’m going to be experimenting with “internet practice instruction” via Skype video conferencing. The basic idea is to help people that are practicing zazen (or would like to start practice) and don’t have a teacher handy.

I’ve long said that you can’t really practice Zen alone. With the Skype video capacity, I’ll be available to meet with people “screen to screen.” I don’t think it will be the same, of course, as face to face meeting … but it still might help people get going or get some feedback on their practice. I will offer it on a “donation basis” so PayPal would be a way for people to offer something in return.

We’ll only really know how it works if we try it. And I’m a middle-aged guy willing to play with these new technological capacities.

I’ll be posting more about this soon.

And, yes, comments are welcome.
