Thank you for your kind reply. I have taken a little while to explore your website. I think that you are doing something both intriguing and very beautiful. The idea of a structured and directed approach to philosophy outside of (what has become) traditional academia, is very attractive to me. I have subscribed to your newsletter and I may very well be interested in paid participation. The issues, as always, are time and money.
I appreciate very much your recommendation of Uchiyama's, "Opening the Hand of Thought. Though I was originally introduced to Buddhism via Zen (as many of us in the 1960's were), in recent years I have gravitated more to Tibetan Buddhism, as you can see. However, it may be that, for a variety of reasons, it's time for me to reacquaint myself with Zen and this book may be a good place for me to start.
I am looking downhill at the remainder of my life and I find that I am, if anything, more curious and interested in how I ought to live it than ever I was before. On the other hand, as a Buddhist nun I once heard said, "it's time to stop seeking and start finding."
Please stay in touch.
