Over the years, a growing number of people who have studied with me, are broadening their dharma explorations through actively sharing their skills and understanding with beings that comprise their local communities. In this manner, a naturally spontaneous ‘green dharma treasury’ expands. In “Sangha Sharings” you will find writings of some of those people. May they serve as an inspiration to all of us.
Stillness, the Contemplative and Creativity
an essay by Bill Genat
With the humbleness of a serious practitioner and the clarity of an experienced university researcher, Bill touches the heart of contemplative living. His essay is bound to be appreciated, both by thoughtful beings who are just beginning to explore meditation, and by more experienced people who are refining the craft of teaching contemplative arts to others.
Bill is a semi-retired professor in the field of Aboriginal public health. He lives with his partner Kathryn Shain near Melbourne, Australia. More about them and their work can be found at “Open Path Meditation”.
