What is spiritual?

One of my teachers, several years ago, said, “You know where the body is.  You can experience the mind, the mental.  You can improve your mind and your body.  But where is spiritual?”  (Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen)  So many people are concerned with improving themselves spiritually.  Back then, when he said these words (2008 maybe), IContinue reading “What is spiritual?”

This country (the United States of America) has become more and more of an oligarchy over the past couple of decades.  We say we are a democracy and yet thereContinue reading “I rarely, if ever, (and I mean never) write about politics”
