Buddhism

Well last night I did something something completely different!
I attended the annual meeting of a Buddhist community here in Ottawa. When I arrived everyone was chanting. It was mesmerizing, in a good way. The meeting was very interesting. There were speeches about Buddhism, as well as "experiences" where people would stand & talk about how chanting had helped them to overcome an adversity in their life! Everyone was SO very welcoming. I can certainly see how chanting, and other buddhist concepts could be helpful in one's daily life. Anyways, VERY interesting stuff. Not sure what to make of it all yet.

Some Famous buddhists:
Alanis Morrissette
Richard Gere
Michael Stipe
Pierce Brosnan
Harrison Ford
Orlando Bloom
Sharon Stone
Uma Thurman
Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys

Listen to Kathleen Edwards

I can't believe it took me this long to discover her. I'm listening to the album "Failer" but she has a more recent one which I plan to pick up real soon!
