Despite my very busy year, I hope to participate with the book club!

Despite my very busy year, I hope to participate with the book club!

The book is about never being busy, and nothing to do, right amid and as our busy year with so much to do.

I started reading this book a few months ago at your recommendation and fell in love immediately. I stopped reading when you announced this book club a while back, and will gladly start again. It's a wonderful book!

The generosity of this community is making me cry. Been an emotional day for me. I guess I will be able to join the book club after all!

That makes me happy that you are able to join us.

I think this book will be part of my (almost) daily reading for the rest of my life. It is just that good.

For those who do not yet have a copy and want to take part in this week's readings, the forward and introduction are available on the publisher's site that Jundo posted a link to (http://www.wisdompubs.org/book/inside-grass-hut).

This page http://www.patheos.com/blogs/monkeym...hermitage.html has the poem itself, which appears to be the same translation as the one in the book.

I really liked this from the introduction:

"This book is intended to support and encourage Buddhist practice, which is, in essence, meditation and kind actions."

Gassho,
Matt
