Almost Everything You Wanted to Know About the Thai Forest Tradition

I really like this website, http://wanderingdhamma.wordpress.com/


It is a blog developed by Brooke Schedneck, a Ph.D. candidate at Arizona State University. Her scholarship revolves around her personal experiences at meditation centers westerners frequent in Thailand. It is an intriguing blog that in a very true to life way captures what daily life is like a meditation monastery, beyond the doctrine and spoken teachings. There is a lot to learn from the different styles of teaching at the centers Brooke visits, I would recommend this site to anyone interested in learning more about the Thai Forest Tradition or Buddhist expats.

"Meditation: a new [sic] practice for lawyers"

A good article from the California Bar about increasing attention from the legal community on meditation: Meditation: a new practice for lawyers

Apparently Supreme Court Justice Breyer meditates regularly, very cool.
