- I started practicing Zen Buddhism in 1971, and now am more eclectic in my self realization studies. I've been teaching for 7 years in the Zen tradition, have a wife and 2 young kids in Rutherford county.

Invitation to offer me feedback on Spirit of Inquiry
Posted on September 19, 2009 at 6:51am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I recently joined the group, and met some of you on a Thursday evening last month. I finished writing this book titled Spirit of Inquiry, it still needs editing, etc. I would like to get some feedback from the community, if you're interested in reading a few short chapters, you can email me at omahawk2@yahoo.com, or just respond to this post with your email address.
I hope to meet more of you at a sangha event in the near future. Take care, Roger
