Dear Dharmavidya,

Thank you so much for recommending a list of reading materials.
I easily lose touch and connection with my spiritual journey, and I find that at least if I am engaged in
reading, I become inspired.
It seems that I cannot sustain my efforts, which is very frustrating. It brings up my old Catholic guilt and
feelings of utter laziness.

Just read Dharmavidya's book 'Who Loves Dies well' found it a beautiful read and very moving. As a book about Shin Buddhism I can't imagine a better. As a book about Dharma in response to grief it is an absulute gift. I've found it inspirational and certainly recommend it.
