It may make others jealous to hear ...
... but we now move on to an essay on envy, trust and finding the treasure always ours, nothing lacking ... so what can there be to envy?

I am pleased to say that Konin Cardenas (who is also now known as Ven. Ayyā Dhammadīpā, as she also has undertaken Theravadan vows which she combines with her Zen path) is scheduled to visit Treeleaf on Sunday, October 10th as a Guest Teacher. We are still setting the exact start time (and I am having a little trouble to reach her as she is in retreat), but I believe that it will be about noon, California time, so that folks in America, UK/Europe, parts of Asia and elsewhere might join. I hope many of you will be able to attend.
Her essay begins on page 186 of the book. (I will note that, even without envy, I think it is okay to sometimes calmly protest incompetent politicians, quack doctors, unethical Buddhist teachers and the like in society ... and I don't think she means that we just need to accept their behavior in all ways, even as we accept its existence in some profound way.)
For those who do not yet have a copy, I have made a PDF version available here for those waiting for their ordered book, or those unable to afford or obtain the book (second half of the book):https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yQV...usp=share_link
Feel free to jump into the readings and discussion even if you have not read other chapters.
