Eeek! that sounds a bit like me, Kris !

Tofu is along other tasty veg food our main dish during the week. Here we call tofu masaura... there are many recipes that hajurba knows! Why does no one starts a healthy food recipe thread in the tea room? (...it is off topic but you folks started it and now I sit here with a watering mouth )

You must have forgotten that Element wrote a Lebanese soup recipe in the Tea Room to which you added a recipe for burgers, Hajurba !

Please start a new thread in the Tea Room with your tofu recipes and I will eagerly await them.

OK, back to topic again - I'm starting to think about my lunch, now

Great. Which ones are you going to study?

I couldn't make it Kris, cash is tight, it takes me about an hour and a half to get to the Vihara (only 20 minutes on the train) the rest is getting across Leicester. There is a Soto Zen group I can get to very easily every week so I think I'll check it out. I'm still going to keep reading the Pali Canon, there is plenty of wonderful Dharma in there.

Sure I will do this. Alas I need a bit of time because I am about to leave for the festival season to celebrate in our village and there is no Internet.
Mmmh...lentil stuff...yeah...if only someone would have added an other tasty veg recipe at these burgers the tofu thing would already run its course !

Hi Traveler...hope you are doing fine with your plans to visit the Soto Zen group. Take care...wish you all the best...you are doing well anyway....

Thank you for your kind words and advice Hajurba, my wonderful friend.

RE "negative feed back loop".
I too have had a lot of depression and find cognitive therapy helpful.
I look very carefully to the inner chatter that is going on in my brain and question myself diligently.
As for people thinking you look stupid or out of place; I had that problem for decades.
Don't value others higher than the highest potentials you see in yourself.
Booze and benzos sort of act as a port in a storm with excess a real no,no.

Well at the moment the negative feedback stuff has been replaced by something far more wondrous, I don't know if it will last. As for booze and benzo's I've had my fill of intoxication. I hope you find the answers you seek, Murchovski.

I've got to admit staring at my wallpaper is more difficult than sitting Samatha with my eyes closed, I may have to reconsider Soto Zen, perhaps I should just consider practing at home and when I can visit the Vihara and drop in at monasteries in the UK when I can (I'd like to visit Amaravati if my GF goes of to Greece again this year). Perhaps I should reflect on my changeable attitudes in order to get some insight into my changing self and impermanence.

Some research has shown me there is Theravadin Vihara in Birmingham with instruction available on week nights so it wouldn't eat into the time I spend on weekends with my GF. Its not much more expensive for me to get to Birmingham and even if I have to catch the last train home my flat is only five minutes from the local station.

Sounds good - go for it !

E-mailed them by way of introduction already, Aloka, I can't make it next week but I can make it the week after.
