Dear All, reading this online ...
I so much encourage you to read this piece, especially relevant in a digital Sangha like ours. So much wisdom here about these electronic times, it is one of my favorite reminders from the book.
We head to page 86, Deep Connection to the Dharma, with Shunzan Kaplan.
I am please to say that Shunzan will be visiting Treeleaf in about 2 weeks, on Sunday May 21st at 6am California/Pacific Time, as a Guest Teacher ... coming to us electronically by ZOOM (how ironic! ).
Her advice on not being flooded with poisons, to maintain and build human connection, and to sometimes ... for awhile ... turn off the devices, is wise and necessary advice.
My question is whether anything in this essay will change how you use media? Or are you already doing some of these things?
Also, what advise can you give us at Treeleaf, based on this essay and your experiences, in order to keep this Sangha human and nourishing? Or do we do okay?
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:https://www.treeleaf.org/forums/show...those-who-need
Feel free to jump into the readings and discussion even if you have not read other chapters.
