Thanks for the recommendations. I've now got a copy of "The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh" on my kindle.

I'm sorry I didn't give you anything to go on about myself when I asked. I'd say that I have an interest in Buddhism that has existed for most of my adult life, and that I've noticed it growing in recent years. I enjoy the time I spend poking around Theravada's Tipitaka. My exposure to Zen is more or less nil. I've shied away from trying to find my local buddhist communities, but I could see that changing. I think the reason I haven't right now is more or less inertia. I don't know what I'd find if I went.

Welcome to hubski.

Thanks for the welcome :D

Plum Village (TNH's main monastery, and his current residence) is currently working on an online monastery of sorts. I've donated a few bucks to it because it definitely appeals to me. I'm a member of the Treeleaf Zendo sangha that's purely online. It's filled with wonderful folks and excellent teachers as well.
