There are 19 parts to this year's Zen Brain meeting at the Upaya Zen Center - last year's collection of teachings was excellent, so I look forward to listening to these. By the way, I have been listening to the Dharma podcasts from Upaya while weight training - I like the body and mind aspect of doing this.Someday, I would love to attend one of the retreats there. This is a great faculty - as always.
