Next up is... 6 months ago

a site (http://www.viewonbuddhism.org/resources/buddhist_stories.html) that I think is geared toward Theravada Buddhism. My particular interest is Mahayana Buddhism but everyone can benefit from insightful stories. I remember listening to Alan Watts and Ram Dass lectures on tape telling such stories and found them wonderful! I hope that some of you find these stories interesting and even inspirational whether you are a Buddhist or not.

And now for something completely different.... 6 months ago

http://home.bitworks.co.nz/trivia/human.htm

An interesting little tidbit that’s a little anthropology, history, trivia, etc. Something I should read on occasion for some inspiration in my quest for all knowledge! Okay, an unreasonable goal, but I never said I was reasonable! ;)

Yay! Finally, my first entry! 7 months ago

Okay, a short beginning. Check out www.planetebook.com. A place where you can download lots of different books in electronic format. Of course, these are the classics and if your not into classics then you may not be so inclined to look. But if you are, enjoy!
