October 13, 2011: The Heart of Practice

     Unfortunately, I missed the last session and I don't have any one else's notes or a hand out. I know that Paul discussed an article and titled his presentation "the Heart of Practice."
So I decided to perform an interesting experiment this week. I just googled that phrase. There are a lot of articles on how that phrase relates to a book about theatrical work. I excluded all of those articles. That left me with the following 5 links. The first link is an article on Buddhist practice by Sylvia Boorstein. The second one is about the practice of tonglen. If you only have time for one,  the middle one is a very basic article on meditation. The last two links are audio files, or inspirational lectures really on Buddhist topics which have to do with the Heart of Practice by Don Handrick.
     Check out as many as you have time for.
     I would be curious if any of these articles are the one that Paul discussed.
