Hi Mandalatree ~ WE are glad you have joined us in The Library Beliefnet Group, I'm responding to your Journal post, and you'll also find the response in The Library...

Your comment, "Thanks for the invite. I am actually reading a great book: “The Art of Happiness”, by his Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler – kind of cool because it explains how to achieve happiness through Buddhist philosophy which many of you know requires a lot of personal self discovery and a complete departure from ego and false self. Also I am publishing a book this winter entitled, “The Responsive Universe” – please feel free to visit www.responsiveuniverse.com for more info. I look forward to engaging in further conversations here at the Library." JCB

We're glad you've shared the information on both the Dali Lama's book and your upcoming book. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts about the Dalai Lama's book, and also more about your upcoming publication of "The Responsive Universe"...Do feel free to share more about both by creating a Forum. or posing Journal messages in The Library.

Blessings to you my friend ~
