Linkage – February 2020

Here are a few links to things that I’ve recently found interesting. My travels have taken me to the far reaches of the internet. Some items are Buddhist-inspired, others are purely coincidental.

Enjoy!

Well if anything was to bring me out of Buddhablog retirement, it was the transformative power of attending a talk by Lama Rod Owens!

True North Insight in Montreal hosted the weekend program on the topic, Love and Fear During Times of War and oh gosh, it was inspiring.

From the moment I set foot in the building, I was greeted with such warmth. What lovely, compassionate, and aware sangha. I say aware because True North Insight self-described mission is that it “seeks to be a sangha where all human beings, with no exceptions, can heal, bloom, shine and experience freedom.” Gives me some serious good feels.

Here’s a link to the Friday night talk which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’d encourage you to check it out.
