Bodhi Tree Swaying: Reflections of a Western Buddhist

Blog round-up

A Cambodian Buddhist blogger writes about how Christians in his country are trying to bribe locals to adopt their religion, and how they even successfully had the subtitles to The Davinci Code censored, despite being a tiny minority in Cambodia.

Dan Sarkipato has a looooooooooong post on Ekhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey, and why their message is unChristian. Fair enough! (I got bored and started skimming about 1/4 of the way down the post.) I’ve found some useful stuff in Tolle’s “The Power of Now” but some of it strikes me as being simply flaky.

The Dalai Lama has been in Nottingham and Nemma was impressed.

Lt. Jeanette Shin, a Buddhist military chaplain, offers a beautiful Memorial Day reflection on impermanence. Gassho!

Barbara O’Brien has a shorter piece on Buddhists in the military, which also mentions Lt. Shin. I’ve been trying to get an interview out of Lt. Shin for months now, but haven’t had any luck so far.
