You certainly have studied it long before I did. Before I was even born, to be precise! :-)<BR/><BR/>Therefore, any advice, suggestion, or comments are more than welcome. Let us contemplate together for our mutual spiritual growth and for the benefits of all. :-)nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875845244276616381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129205467003129540.post-53959900495033593542008-09-25T16:36:00.000+07:002008-09-25T16:36:00.000+07:00I have had a lifelong interest in Buddhist philoso...I have had a lifelong interest in Buddhist philosophy--since 1963, in fact. I greatly enjoy and value your pieces in the BKK Postsultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450438184888404773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129205467003129540.post-89920171653703099262008-09-23T14:30:00.000+07:002008-09-23T14:30:00.000+07:00Keep it up! :-)Mindfulness would only bring one pl...Keep it up! :-)<BR/><BR/>Mindfulness would only bring one pleasant surprise after another to your life!<BR/><BR/>And, what a coincidence, your name also reminds me of an old nickname of mine(!) Yes, I used to be called "Jom." Long story. So it is amusing to see this conversation thread. Because it feels as if I'm having a conversation with my old self! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, please also feel free to send future messages, if any, to my email listed on my profile page. <BR/><BR/>And thanks again for your kind words. For a writer, words like this are priceless. It makes us want to try harder to give what we feel is the best to our readers out there, whom we know must exist.<BR/><BR/>Also feel free to drop any questions if you may have regarding mindfulness meditation. I'll try to cover them in my future articles as best as I could.<BR/>(Not that I think I know much, but I prefer to respond to specific needs of the readers.)<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day! :-)nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875845244276616381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129205467003129540.post-38322825918907124482008-09-23T13:15:00.000+07:002008-09-23T13:15:00.000+07:00Well, honestly, I like how you elaborate this 'dro...Well, honestly, I like how you elaborate this 'drop in the ocean' - it's very comprehensive. Also, you remind me of someone who shares your lastname! <BR/><BR/>I have been practicing meditation and it is very powerful to help me deal with pressure and complexity in life - esp when I'm away from home (I'm in Madison, WI). <BR/><BR/>Anyway, now I have this 'deep listening' as an add-on to my current practice. Will keep you posted re my progress :) Thanks again.Jomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926359551052048843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129205467003129540.post-63725455457001801532008-09-23T12:36:00.000+07:002008-09-23T12:36:00.000+07:00Dear K. Jom,If you are interested in similar topic...Dear K. Jom,<BR/><BR/>If you are interested in similar topics, try searching for "deep listening" and "The Zen of listening" on the web. <BR/><BR/>You'll find that my writing is just a drop in an ocean of those who practice the same thing. :-)<BR/><BR/>Deep Listening is becoming a "hot" issue in leadership and management training.<BR/><BR/>But listening is just one of the various perceptive senses we have. In my humble opinion, total mindfulness training offers a more wholesome approach.<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a chance to try it yourself one day! :-)nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875845244276616381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129205467003129540.post-43666403396754174012008-09-23T10:55:00.000+07:002008-09-23T10:55:00.000+07:00I like many points you've made.

You were listening to your own thoughts!" - I'll look forward to your upcoming posts.
