Kyoto Journal (Perspectives on Asia) - an excellent magazine out of Kyoto, once called by Howard Rheingold the best magazine in the world, with a good solid web site that is informative and being upgraded right now - 3/26/04. Back issues to 1987 are available and each one is superb. It's ridiculously non profit for a publication so professionally well done. These guys want to keep it a labor of love and earn money in other ways. If I did it I wouldn't have another job, but I guess that's why it's so good. - DC

In Spirit,

3-30-07 - A Course In Miracles is, I bet, the most popular channeled teaching of all time. I say that without really knowing but what would compare? Many people I greatly respect have deeply studied ACIM. I see it as a mind-only spiritual teaching that uses Biblical language and emphasizes love and forgiveness. Not what some Buddhist web-surfers would be interested in, but for some others this gift will be appreciated. There are, of course, sites on the web that are easily accessed. I get a daily email from Joseph G Veit with brief lessons from ACIM. I asked if I could mention him here and he said, "I am happy to include anyone who sends an email to jveit@sbcglobal.net with a request to receive the daily lessons."

Teachings like the following from ACIM help me not get caught by the theistic language and make me feel right at home: My thoughts do not mean anything.

Thanks Joseph. - DC

7/5/1999--Greetings. Last night I found my computer on HotBot and it had performed a search for Crooked Cucumber. I had a friend over but he's not likely to have done that. I was slightly mystified but chose to direct my attention to the sites that came up. There were twenty sites listed. I thought they were interesting so here they are.. I'm going to put the appropriate ones here under LINKS.--DC

[First there was this:]

Search Partners
· Research "crooked cucumber" at AtHand Yellow Pages.[That didn't seem to work but I didn't try very hard.--DC]
· Start a "crooked cucumber" group at eGroups.com. [Didn't pursue.]
· Find books on "crooked cucumber" at barnesandnoble.com. [I checked that out and went on. They had some reviews and the table of contents--and VERY favorable position on top before one sees the smaller bookstores that came up. Among the sites listed below was:]

Lewis Richmond Home Page
The greatest thing for a human being is to find joy in your work.  -- from
WORK AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE. Lew's web site is http://www.lewisrichmond.com/.
[I read Lew's book before I went on my booksigning tour and I was glad I did. Good suggestions light on theory.--DC]

"This deceptively simple, immensely practical book is as useful as a fine shoe. Like good footwear it is made to be used, built to last, and with the kind of fine style that derives from a perfect matching of form to function. I have become so attached to it, that leaving the house without one or another of Lewis's practice in mind, is like venturing into the wilderness without my boots." --Peter Coyote, movie actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall.

It also mentioned Lew's new CD of piano music LAKE OF NO SHORE. Check that out too.

Lew and I are dharma brothers, who, along with Angie Runyon and Ed Brown, were ordained by Suzuki-roshi just before he died. He runs a successful software company in Sausalito now, plays music, and teaches Zen.

==================

On Lew Richmond's site he had a link to BROADWAY BOOKS at http://www.broadwaybooks.com/  our  publisher's web site and bookstore locator,. a link to Random House books. http://www.randomhouse.com/ seemed to work better. [It was a little slow for me. I want to go back and try it again. I need to try to maximize my computer's speed. Also, Lew's book had a lot more on it--go check it out. Guess I should feed them some more material.*]

[There were some other sites which sold books. I should have a section for that on this site. Where to buy. I can't list every store in the country so I'm not sure, but it seems it would be good to put down the ones that come up on a search and the ones I read at or where I know the people there. ]

There was Open Secret Bookstore Online. http://www.opensecretbookstore.com/Store.html
Open Secret Bookstore offers thousands of book titles, videos, music
and sacred art images from around the world. We will research any title
or product for you as well..

There was Powell's Books, the largest new and used bookstore in the world.--http://www.powells.com/

A review of Crooked Cucumber was on the Spirituality and Health website.

There was Page One Bookstore in Albuquerque where I read on March 18th. [I couldn't get on this one.] .

Ibis Books is a Bookstore for the Spiritual Seeker. We carry books on Astrology, Buddhism, Druidry, Enochian, Gnosticism, Hinduism, Magick,Meditation, Qabalah, Runes, Sufism, Tantra, Taoism, Tarot, The Craft, Thelema and Zen. Books on Zen for the Spiritual Seeker--http://www.ibisbooks.com/Zen.mhtml.

[And there was amazon.com]

In the Whole Earth Magazine,   the summer 1999 issue, there's  a review of Crooked Cucumber by Katy Butler.[ It's short so I'll put it here: Buy their magazine. It still fills an important nitch.--DC]

Shunryu Suzuki-roshi came to San Francisco from Japan in 1959 when he was 55, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Before he got here, Zen was an idea, not a practice. He made it stick. He taught Americans to sit zazen; founded Tassajara, the first Zen monastery where women practiced as (almost) equals; and forever altered our cultural landscape. Just how remains a mystery. In Japan, he was an ordinary country priest, in a dying religious tradition, with an almost moribund temple. He needed his American students as badly as they needed him.

This subtle and generous biography, by a "loose cannon" among Suzuki's early students, helped me understand the forces that shaped Suzuki in Japan, and how, before he died of liver cancer in 1971, he transmitted to Americans something both within and beyond both cultures. The book snuck up on me, much like the Soto Zen tradition, which emphasizes zazen and the awareness of everyday things rather than dramatic breakthroughs. (As Suzuki's successor Richard Baker once said in a ceremony, "Walking with you in Buddha's gentle rain/Our robes are soaked through.") Crooked Cucumber is a deceptively unassuming introduction to Zen tradition and to Suzuki, mostly through his own words, liberally scattered through its pages ("Life is like stepping onto a boat that is about to sail out to sea and sink"). It made me want to sit again, to wholeheartedly live my life with all its difficulty, and more than that: to be flexible and kind.

ALSO in the same recent summer '99  issue of Whole Earth Review was Patricia Holt's article "Book Brawl, Independent bookstores, the Internet, chain stores and discount houses duke it out." Makes you think.

==================

The Zen Center of Chapel Hill. {Me old buddies led by Zen teacher Pat Phelan. I gave a talk there while on my tour and miss them already.] Chapel Hill (NC) Zen Center is a Soto Zen meditation group in the lineage
of Shunryu Suzuki-roshi and affiliated with the S.F. Zen Center.

Link to Sedge Thompson's West Coast Live for many reasons. It's a great, satisfying, eclectic show with especially well-chosen musical guests. On May 15th, 1999 the live show was broadcast from the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley.  [I was on that show and so were Charlie Musselwhite, the Bobs, and an Australian woman named?* who wrote an interesting looking book on Japan called?* My wife, who speaks her mind, liked my interview, and I felt okay too, but, Michael Newell, a friend in prison who heard it, thought I was too speedy and didn't give Sedge Thompson enough room. Newell had kinder words for Crooked Cucumber. I'll print both here in time.* This show is available for download (15mb), or as a RealAudio stream at WHYY 90.9 FM.

7/4/99--Subject Eureka! Hey David, I just found the link you're looking for. It is http//www.alanwatts.com/.-- Rich (RS) This is the site for the Alan Watts Electronic University. He's been called, along with D.T. Suzuki, "the great bridge." Mark Watts, Alan's eldest son, has shown his skill as an engineer in offering to the public his father's tapes and videos, did and still does the excellent tape archiving work of Suzuki-roshi lecture tapes for the SF Zen Center.

"Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit..." Los Angeles Times.

"Alan Watts is a great Bodhisattva."--Shunryu Suzuki.

[more on Alan Watts* in time]

I traded the great blues singer and fellow Sonoma County-ite, Charlie Musselwhite, a Crooked Cucumber for one of his new CD's, "Continental Drifter." It's gotten a lot of play in our house. Check him out at www.charlie-musselwhite.com. As I link more, I'll make link sections--this one would be under something like "Friends of cuke.com."
