Roundup for Sept 27, 2006

Detail from “Twilight (Lamps).” An Xiao of That Was Zen This Is Tao shows us in a series of photographs that the sweetest moment of the day comes at twilight.

Whoa. Got behind on my regimen to blog daily. So here goes with a shortshot of what was elegant, classy and had buckets of dazzlement [or sticky sugar, in one case] in the IntegroBuddho- blogosphere on the day preceding the 27th …

Matt Kohai, The Eternal Kohai, tells us of his day. A busy one!

Al [of In Pursuit of Mysteries] and R are lookin’ for a house in the Oakland area. Found a classy victorian! She’s a beauty. So, Blogmandu readers, here’s your chance: Outbid Al and R for the pretty little house.

Craig of Craig’s Photography shows us that C [is] 4 Compassion as C4 of ~C4Chaos fame volunteered time and his photography talent educating and spreading the word about breast cancer.

Tyson of tysonwilliams.com quotes Sogyal Rinpoche who tells us why we should keep our eyes open during meditation.

John of My Zen Life offers a photograph of a new arrival, tiny little Jack, a new Buddha, born on Sep. 21. In the comments section, Ryan of Nine Out of Zen tells us his family, too, has been blessed with a recent arrival. It’s a busy stork month.

Perhaps from knowing the Buddhoblogosphere was having a photographically interesting day, whiskey of whiskey river offers a quote that begins thusly: “Sometimes one sees the world in a way one is not aware of at other times. We're never really seeing the world, we're only seeing a moment's take on the world. This is true of images. Images are a way of seeing the world which you didn't notice before, and something you cannot make by an act of will; it's something that is suddenly revealed to you. …”

A worm inches his way around Dave’s hat [Yes! There are photos!] in Via Negativa.

One of Ken Wilber’s fawning acolytes writes a message in the ‘KenWilber.com Journal’ from a guy telling us who he thinks is “by far the most important person on the planet right now.” The fawning acolyte is a teacher at I-I. The guy has starting a fan-forum about all things Wilber. The guy thinks the most important person in the world is Ken Wilber. The post is too vomit inducing for me to provide B’du readers with a link. A perfect substitute for reading the post is to eat a pound of sticky icing.

Michael of One Foot in Front of the Other goes to Grant’s tomb, tells us who’s buried there, and provides photographs. No, not of skeletons, Silly.

Zataod of Zen and the Art of Dreaming lists the false Gods. It’s an interesting li—Hey! Wait a minute!

Nagarjuna of Naked Reflections writes about false Gods, too. Gagdad Bob’s false God. Should we worship the unknown? Faith before facts? Zeus, anyone?

RandomGuru of carlosrull.com takes us to the top of Mt. Everest for a look around. Picturesque!
