It's the little things.
Many thanks to James Ishmael Ford, Zen teacher and human being extraordinaire, for this gift.
It's a silicone bracelet that says "I take refuge in Buddha, Dharma, Sangha."
James found it "in a bowl at the counter of the
Institute for Buddhist Studies bookstore in Berkeley" (California) on a recent trip there.
I dunno; maybe silicone bracelets are already passe. But they're so cheap, and done well, they can be great reminders. Like dime-store dharma tattoos!
Thanks, as always, James.
