If she's quoting the Third Patriarch, I rather doubt that you will be able to change her mind

Pirate and I went over to SF this evening to hear Cheri Huber speak at the Unitarian Church up on Geary. As is often the case, many practice opportunities presented themselves... most often as one of the other audience members was speaking

I should drop you a line.

You should! :-D Especially since we've been taste-testing different brands lately, trying to find which one we like best.

As for preferences, I still have 'em too. I just don't waste my time arguing with Zen teachers that I'm right about my preferences and they're wrong.

That one I heard about because I'm on the Living Compassion mailing list. And both times I've been to hear Cheri talk somewhere other than a bookstore, the group organizing/hosting the event has had a "please sign up for our email list" sheet out. I've signed up both times, and so far neither one has been bad about clogging my inbox with too many emails. So far I haven't gone to any of the other events or speakers they've put on, but I'm open to the possibility.

Brad Warner I also heard about directly from his blog. The disadvantage of finding out directly from the person or the organization is that unless I already know I'm interested in a person, how do I know I'm interested in hearing them speak? I think that's why I've felt willing to sign up on the mailing lists - one way of finding out about people I might not other hear about.
