Bernie Glassman and Zenpeacemakers/The deep meaning of begging for malas/street retreats In 2007 I must have heard about Zenpeacemakers, probably through the Dharma teacher Werner Heidenreich, who told me about a meeting in Germany, perhaps in Solingen. I remember...
I. I can’t write – It’s about the whole thing Part I
