Election day approaches
Exam's coming up on Thursday, we'll review on Tuesday and decide what text(s) to add to our November syllabus. Any thoughts about any of these candidates? Or additional nominations? I'll plan to vote only in the event of a tie.

The Monk and the Philosopher intrigues me, as does any text written by the Dalai Lama.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to nominate in light of recent discussion on Buddhist thought: For the Benefit of All Sentient Beings by the Dalai Lama. Great read for me, promoted lots of inner harmony and oneness. :)
