My brother David sent me a link to the interesting Buddhist site Be the Rigden, which appears to be about Buddhism via-à-vis modernity. Check it out. Rigden means "holder of wisdom/knowledge."
I got the Buddhism link from my brother only yesterday, so I'm still unfamiliar with the man and his site. Will be interested to hear what you have to say about him.
re: weapons and tone deafness
Sorry about that; I meant all that in good fun, and wasn't trying to admonish you at all. Quite the contrary-- I thoroughly enjoyed your posts and hope to see more of geomdo from the inside.
For myself, I'll be more careful: I shouldn't give people the impression that you're sizing them up for butchery. Heh.
I have to agree with your blogged observations on the meat-cutting demonstrations, though: it is indeed "sobering" to see what kind of damage even a glancing blow can do to a person.
