From The Buddhism Community: noisy neighbors
"What would Buddha do about noisy neighbors:
a) go up and politely tell them to turn it down, time after time after time.
b) call the police and have them do it.
c) create some dramatic lesson for them to indirectly learn
d) none of the above in the interest of not interfering with living flow."

From The Buddhism Community: Taoist in your Midst
"Hello all,
After watching your community here for a few days and being impressed with the level of activity and quality of posts, I've decided to join. I myself am not a Buddhist, but actually closer to a Taoist in practice. My knowledge of Buddhism is also admittedly basic, but I look forward to learning from you all and throwing in my two cents on occasion."

From dharmapodcast: DP 30 Rohatsu - Introduction to Sesshin Practice and King Ashoka
"
Time: 35:10 Talk 1:
Recorded December 01, 2006, Upaya Zen Center
In this introductory talk, the teachers give inspiring words about the heart of practice: Kaz Sensei provides background explanation of Rohatsu; Enkyo Roshi gives a talk on concentration meditation, and Roshi Joan provides instruction for meditation, intentionality, and precautions for sesshin.
In this series of talks given by Kazuaki Tanahashi Sensei, Enkyo O'Hara Roshi, and Joan Halifax Roshi, the practice sangha formed by Rohatsu sesshin explores the topic of King Ashoka. King Ashoka was responsible for many atrocities, including the deaths of thousands."

From jack: Practicing Equanimity
"Recently a couple of incidents underscored that equanimity is a practice rather than an endpoint. Prior to this, I had viewed it as an eventual result of practice — rather than a practice itself.
The first occasion was a mind storm while running."

From jack: Mentor B. - Training and Enlightenment
"Jack: Part of the scripture recitation for the weekly meditation at the priory is Dogen’s Rules for Meditation. Dogen is pretty obscure for me in general, so I’m not very surprised when I find that I don’t understand something he writes. One of his statements has always seemed particularly incongruous, though."
