National Geographic

I did my talk in class last night, and I think the final verdict is that I write well, but don’t read nearly so well.

Prior to class, as I was sitting outside the shrine room, I saw a copy of the latest issue of National Geographic, which has a great article about Buddhism. Unfortunately, the article is only available in the magazine, but there’s a multimedia supplement on their Web site. The first picture after the title image of the “Call of Compassion” section was taken at the New York Shambhala Center, where I study and practice. You can see some of my classmates, though it’s odd for me to see them dressed up.
