A book I have recently completed and would recommend is called "The Great Medicine (that conquers clinging to the notion of reality). Long title, short book, but really does a fine job of talking about phenomena and emptiness, and the junction of the two. It's by Shechen Rabjam and published by Shambhala.

Last but not least, I'd like to personally thank all of you in the Tuesday Night Sangha for your attendance and support over the last year. I think we have a fine group and I look forward to continuing on in August and beyond, with Pat at the helm! :-)

Saturday night Aug 2. -- just saw "Buddha's Warriors" on CNN with Christian Amanpour (sp). The first half anyway. The second half is on Sunday night at 8:00 PM on CNN. Really in depth treatment of the Buddhist protests against the Chinese over Tibet.
