I’ve written a page on the Squidoo site about the Gotami Sutta and how to integrate the lessons it teaches into your meditation practice. I just came across Squidoo a couple of days ago; it’s an interesting concept, and it looks like it might be a good way to publish stuff that’s a little bit longer, a little bit more complex, and has a slightly longer useful life span than a typical blog post, and that’s more likely to be discovered by more people than a typical Page on a minor Wordpress blog like this one. Another advantage is that the links to books go to Amazon, from whom Squidoo collects a small referral fee. 5% of that fee goes to charity; about half comes to me; and Squidoo keeps the rest. (We’re talking pennies here, not dollars; you pay no more for the book than you’d pay if you found it through an Amazon search.) Like I said, an interesting concept.

I’m mainly interested in what you think of the article itself, especially those of you who find meditation practice appealing and may actually have started to do some meditation on your own. There’s a Guestbook module at the bottom of the Squidoo page (which, for some weird reason, they call a “Lens”). Leave me a comment if you have something to say.
