This is a busy life and so I have not been able to blog much. The needs and challenges in this city are huge. Islington is a borough of very rich and very poor and that is a recipe for problems exascerbated by all the cuts. I am very involved in Interfaith here and recently we have offered trainings for faith, refuge and BME groups around coping with people coming to us with mental health and poverty issues. Yesterday we had a training on the safety precautions we need to take. Sadly this…

At last the book started 10 years ago is finished. And copies will hopefully arrive at TBH for the conference.
For the last two weeks I have mentally back in Zambia, working alongside Amrita and our friends in Tithandizane. It has been a labour of love. Love for Amrita and for those we lost in our time there and since.
I hope this book will paint many pictures - of the project, of living with illness and early death, of finding joy amidst it all, much laughter, much learning. I…

Geske Glahn said… - congratulations for your grandson - how wonderful for you to see your daughter becoming a mum, - and for her to have a son. this is really an amazing experience as a grandmother to watch such a child explore and grow.
Signe and her family is living here in Copenhagen for 3 months until begining of August and I have got this parttime job as a grandmother 2-3 days per week. We just spent one week together in a summer house. So I take all the advantage I can while they are here and before they go back to berlin.

enlightened or bombu?
Started by Thomas Myojo Radcliffe in Buddhist Teaching. Last reply by Robert McCarthy May 7. 9 Replies 0 Likes
Zen is clear that we are essentially enlightened beings. Pureland insists that we are hopelessly deluded. Both seem to me to be true. On the one hand the mind with all it's contradictions,…Continue
Other-power or Zazen?
