The Laundry Line: Eight is Enough
The dirty laundry of reality stars Jon and Kate isn't very different from what we all have to deal with. More than that, says SunSpace blogger Karen Maezen Miller, it’s the basis of Buddhism.
"Yoga
and meditation are ultimately about turning our eyes away from the
airbrushed images of the outside world," Anne Cushman says, "and
looking deep within our own hearts."
 Contributors
to the July 2009 issue of Shambhala Sun include:
Perry
Garfinkel on filmmaker Harold Ramis, Shiva Rea and Rodney Yee on yoga
and Buddhism, Judy Lief, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Dzigar Kongtrul
Rinpoche, and more.

break out of the walls in the mind; they are often similar to the moves
you make if you are interested in Zen koans, but the world teaches them to us."
