[Buddha-l] Buddhas Meditation

[JKirkpatrick]

Hi Richard,

Such cross-purposes are typical of email lists, so no worries about this crossed purpose. 

Very relieved to hear that you are feeling well and taking care of your health.
We can't benefit from practice very well if we don't take care of our health. 
I finally joined the Y and was going 3x a week to use the recumbent bike and some of the strength machines. Lately, interruptions have intruded on the routine, garden work also needing to be done, weeding especially--but I'll get back to it because it's the only thing that saves me from total decline and facing wheelchair city.

Cheers,
Joanna

Actually, you didn't ask what I meant. You said something about what I said that seemed to me to indicate you had not taken what I wrote in the way I meant for it to be taken, so I was trying to explain what I meant by restating it in other words. But I was not attributing anything to you.

Thanks for asking if I'm feeling well. In fact, I am feeling quite well. I've lost weight, am working out regularly at the gym and walking a lot and am feeling better at 66 that I've ever felt before, both physically and psychologically. What's more, I'm working on a textbook on Buddhist philosophy that I hope will be useful to those who read it. It would hard for things to be better, aside from attaining parinirvāṇa.

Richard
