Contributors RSS Feeds - Here's How:
The best way to know if there are new posts by contributors, including mine, is to subscribe to an individual RSS Feeds. It is easy and it is painless! Simply click on a name in the left hand side of the page, then click on the RSS Feed icon. (It looks like this ) and can be found at the right hand end of the address bar.
Once you have clicked on that icon you choose which service you want to use from the drop-down list, I use Google, and then if you haven't subscribed to the service already - do that. It's free.

Introductions:
In the usual sense all of the contributors are my students and I am their teacher. However, underlying the formalities of these relationships is the fact that we all teach, and learn from, those around us. Jim, Andrew and Adrienne, have agreed to share their thoughts and insights about their lives as practicing Buddhists within Soto Zen.

From Adrienne:

I have had in my mind to write about my daily practise for some time so I am grateful to Rev Mugo for asking me to contribute. Despite the up-rush of feelings of inadequacy I find myself surprisingly enthusiastic and willing to share my thoughts. Having received the email and said Yes, OK, what seemed good to do next was to give my altar a thorough clean and freshen up.

From Andrew:

You have asked me to consider writing a regular contribution to your Jade Mountains. With some nervousness, and as usually seems to be the way with these situations, something is saying yes, ok; and then I’m trying to work out what it is I’ve said yes to, and if it is good to do then why is it, and how can it work for us? I know you better than to ask exactly what it is you were thinking of, so here is my go at what might work for me.

From Jim:

...This disruption of the story of self continues. There’s a liquefaction of the ground on which I stand, like what happens to silty soil during an earthquake. This all sounds rather dramatic, but there really are only moments like that. Mostly it’s been about noticing the shifts in perspective and quietly waiting to see what’s going to show up next. Not forcing myself to dig deeper, not turning away from what’s there.
