‘Approaching Enlightenment’ has made it to the Museum of Asian Art in San Francisco. I do love a museum shop! Even more now! #approachingenlightenment #triratna #buddhism #windhorsepublications

Life is short, and the time of death is uncertain; so apply yourself to meditation. Avoid doing evil, and acquire merit, to the best of your ability, even at the cost of life itself. In short, act so that you will have no cause to be ashamed of yourselves; and hold fast to this rule.

- Milarepa.

With the Approaching Enlightenment book tour coming to an end, I am tired but also incredibly grateful for the connections and moments of Dharma Magic along the way. Here I am at Paddington station waiting for the train to Oxford.
