Favourite thing today: being able to attend the Friday night mediation with the Ottawa Buddhist Society. Ajahn Viradhammo led the meditation and he is truly remarkable: wise and witty and world-changing.
(If I had not been able to go to the meditation my favourite thing would have been much more banal: the way the sunlight glinted off a row of cars in the parking lot at Carleton. They caught my eye for a moment. And then the sun shifted and the moment was gone. Kind of like that plastic bag blowing in an alley in the movie American Beauty. Beauty in an unexpected place.)
Two people noted meditation places in the list of favourite things. Here they are:
"Favorite Meditation Retreat: The women’s retreat taught by Christina Feldman and Narayan Liebenson Grady at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA." (see this link)
And Steve L recommended chanting and meditation in Ottawa at a weekly Sunday event beside the Green Door from 6 to 8pm (see this link).
And here's a link to the Ottawa Buddhist society (click here).
Bonus favourite thing: a perfect full moon over the pond tonight.
