    Sandwich generation issues -- too many topics to list

    Raising teenagers in a digital/social media world, including the full spectrum of human experience (neurodiversity, LGBTQA+)

    racism and bigotry in families

    Step-families/blended families that don't get along

    Substance abuse in families

    Generation gap in the digital divide -- elderly who can't/won't use technology when everything is done by technology.

    Increasingly complicated healthcare system and lack of access by vulnerable populations, rural areas.

        - zen parenting - how to teach Zen/Buddhism to children without being preachy.
        - zen marriage - how can one live an authentic Zen/Buddhist life in a marriage where the other spouse has no interest in practice?
        - cookery corner - simple Japanese and Chinese recipes
        - is it permissible to do Kinhin in one's pyjama's and dressing gown while broadcasting said Kinhin via Google Hangouts?
        - how to stay true to one's practice in a corporate environment.

        5 off the top of my head, although some of those sound a bit more serious than they were meant to.

        Gassho,

          - Can one be 'attached to non-attachment'? If so, how do you realise and 'snap out of it'?

          May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be free from suffering.
          May I be happy, may I be healthy, may I be free from suffering.
          May we be happy, may we be healthy, may we be free from suffering.

          Gassho,

              Can I be a Zen buddhist and still love Kirtan (Hindu and Hare Krishna chanting) and listen to Krishna Das talks?
              I love to chant the names of the Gods and the Mantras and I find much wisdom in the Hare Krishna religion.
              Knowing that this is very "New Age" and knowing myself as very eclectic in almost everything (so that includes religion) I sometimes feel sort of guilty about this...

                Wow, I think you just listed most of my issues!!!!

                Id add just two more if I may;

                Am I a bad person for not wanting to spend time right now with my partner/child/parent?

                Would learning Japanese to read commentaries in Japanese Zen a possible idea? Like is it so difficult (like gandharan) or easier like Pali?


                Thankyou.

                  Glad if it helped, Geoff ..... I was worried (as usual) about my post being a bit "over the top" serious, but it is also ordinary life ......
