We had a good turnout and discussion of the first pages of Thich Nhat Hanh's commentary on the Heart Sutra, immediately delving into the concept of "inter-being" and the distinction between understanding and wisdom or knowledge.
As always, auxiliary materials are referenced during our discussions and I thought I'd list them here:
Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the West? (Korean film, Dharmaga tongjoguro kan kkadalgun, 1989), also on Netflix.
Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha, by Tara Brach.
and
My Stroke of Insight, Jill Bolte Taylor 19 min. video on TED: a brain scientist experiences her own massive stroke.
