Writings: When Douglas Preston & the Dalai Lama took a ski trip

This is one of those “made my day” stories that crossed the brothers’ and sisters’ desks, and we agreed you would probably dig it, especially at the end. Thanks for a good one, Douglas! Here’s the post, from Slate.com.

Thought for the day…

"When you commit yourself to the bodhisattva path, the path of helping others, you feel as if you have done it before and you have been doing it all along. It is like living up to your inheritance, or taking over your parents’ business. You feel that there is something quite natural and right about it."
-- Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

About Brother Ian

Over the centuries, Brother Ian has been collecting stories & information & discourses for the purpose of elevating the human condition as needed, dissecting it when necessary, and building the case for hope.

In the spirit of noting that organized crime, organized baseball, organized labour, and organized religion tend to engender controversy & occasional discord, I promise to be neither organized or critical of those who are.
