About me: I'm a Zen monk, writer, bass player and film-maker. My first book was Hardcore Zen and my upcoming one (May, 2007) is called Sit Down and Shut Up! I run a weekly Zen class in at the Hill Street Center in Santa Monica, and I write a weekly column for the Suicide Girls website. You can find it at:

And check my blog:
HARDCORE ZEN
Who I'd like to meet: Buddha on the road and kill him.
Thanks so much for the add. Over a year ago, when I read Hardcore Zen, I remember thinking, "Holy shit, this man has peeked inside my head and has typed out my thoughts! Thank you so much for opening my eyes to see that I'm not alone in my "Lust for Life". Ha!
Namaste
I'm trying to take advantage of this amazing online community
to truly change the world in a profound and tangible way
for five children and the people who love them.
I invite you to join me in helping Operation Smile provide cleft palate & cleft lip surgeries to children around the world.
Perhaps you are in the position to spare $1, $5 or $20...
$240 funds one surgery.
I've already donated enough for one child's surgery, and my goal is to raise $1200 for five children.
Donations can be made by credit card, PayPal or check, & all donations are completely tax deductible.

You know, I realized this morning that all the years I've spent staring at a wall can't compare to the pure satisfaction I get from the five minutes it takes to eat a peanut donut.
