Hi, sorry to be slow too. I worked with adults in a community education project in a run down area of Newcastle for four years about 15years ago. Now my teaching is mostl within Amida to adults.

yes, writing is a great love for me too, but finding time is a challenge. What do you write?

I understand about you forgetting this site. There are so many are there not. Pleased to hear you have a Zen temple in your vicinity. I too lack friends to talk about Buddhism with here, though this is really my own fault. I have many Buddhists friends on-line. Do you mind if i recommend you yet another site. It's not strictly a Buddhist or religious site but there are many good folk on it. It's a peace site for talking peace - http://ipeace.ning.com - it's new (official launch tomorrow) but already has over 4,000 members from 150 countries including many Buddhists.

Hello Mike. Good to be in touch. What age group do you teach? I taught seven year olds about thirty years ago!

Hi Mike. Interesting profile you have. Have you read Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Suzuki Roshi - one of my favourites. Anyway I've sent a friend request to you. Be nice to get to know each other better - I had a Catholic upbringing and attended a Jesuit school. I lost my faith in God and found Tibetan Buddhism.
With respect,
Michael
