Growing Food and Spiritual Practice

By Liz Evers on Sat, 24 Jul, 2021 - 14:17

By Dhivan Thomas Jones on Thu, 12 Dec, 2013 - 17:36I am very pleased to announce that I’ve uploaded a new article in the Western Buddhist Review. Joe Gaziano and Jacquie Lewis are Buddhists in a vipassanā tradition in the US.

I welcome their thoughtful yet principled discussion, based on their desire to inspire fellow Buddhists to...
