Mixing technology and practice
There were many more good sessions at the Wisdom 2.0 conference this weekend. The intention of the organizers is to post videos. I'll let you know when. Here are some of my notes from a second panel.
How do we use modern, social media technologies — such as this blog — to both further o

Wisdom 2.0
If a zen master were sitting next to the chief technical officer of Twitter, what would they talk about? That sounds like a hypothetical overheared at a bar in San Francisco. But this weekend I saw the very thing at Soren Gordhamer's Wisdom 2.0 conference — named after his book of the same nam

Evelyn,
I’m curious what about the statement compelled you to shut off the podcast?

I’m doing exactly that right now, I should turn this off and concentrate on the task at hand.”

Yeah it was a great point he made (originally from a Trunpa Rinpoche story I believe). I’m encouraged to hear it generated a similar enthusiasm for you as it did for me “Shut off the distractions now!”. The Q and A in part 2 is really great too, he’s such an animated teacher.
