I appreciate the whole rebel Buddha approach.

From what people are saying here and elsewhere,
and from my own opinion, until mind training
in the West is included in the educational
system itself, the bias of the intellect, ungrounded in mindfulness/awareness, will
always be liable to distortion. Yes! The notion of
Buddhism as a religion, as a cultural phenomena, has to go.

It was a great day everyone. Very moving. Inspiring. And thought-provoking. I am excited for the other cities on the book tour; can’t wait to hear their reports.

Hey Shane,
Your written perception of this event made me feel i was there whilst at the same time made me wish i had been there and ultimately has stirred up enough curiosity in me to want to learn more and become a part of this wonderful ‘attitude’ to life.
Thanks for writing this wonderful article and putting it out there.

Excellent write up, Shane, for a truly memorable event. I was blown away by the Rinpoche’s talk as well as the panel discussion. Of the four panelists, Rinpoche was the only one I ‘knew’, but Ethan, Roshi and Mitra Mark really gave me some great new perspectives. And they all exuded warmth, good humor and wisdom.

Plus, so many great conversations happening everywhere during breaks… Just awesome. Wish I could attend every launch event!
