I’ve been a fan of TED lectures for years. Yesterday I came across this one by Thandie Newton. I found it quite moving, and at the end, I was struck by the idea that she may have just presented a Buddhist approach to life without once mentioning the Buddha or Buddhism. Which, or course, makes her presentation extremely Buddhist.
This is Bill's blog about Zen, which is to say, everything. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and children, and two very Zen cats.
I adore TED as well – and I find that *many* of the TED speakers give “Buddhist” talks, probably without ever realizing that is exactly what they did. The dharma is all around; and people who are grounded and connected and open just live it, even if they don’t “know” it.
