I’ve
been drawn to Buddhism for some time, joining the occasional Wednesday morning
sangha at Spirit Rock, taking a workshop at Green Gulch or a indulging in a retreat
at Tassajara. In fact I’m a member of
the San Francisco Zen Center, but I have never managed to commit to a daily
practice of meditation. Now is the time
to begin. I had ordered a copy of Norman
Fischer’s new book on compassion and decided to use that as my vehicle to give
structure to my new venture. In fact,
the first chapter is called, “resolve to begin” and so I did. I pulled out my indigo cushion, organized my
little altar of Buddhas, incense, and flowers, set my iPhone timer, and voila,
I began.
