The View From Above  | Things simply happen—we do our rituals, we travel about, we bear children, live among them, and die. We can't change these facts, but if we cultivate awareness that everyone, everywhere has similar experiences of life and death, it can take the urgency out of our responses, opening a space for equanimity to arise. |  | - Manjusura, "The View From Above"

Today on Tricycle | Sponsored Links | | |  Film Club: Griefwalker  There is a lively and insightful conversation happening now at the Tricycle Film Club! We're watching Griefwalker, a film about the relationship between death and a deep love of life. Both Stephen Jenkinson, the subject of the film, and Tim Wilson, the director, are participating in the discussion. "To my mind Griefwalker gathers itself around a central question, and then begins to wonder about it," Jenkinson comments. "What does it take to fall in love with being alive?" Let us know what you think! Films are available to Supporting and Sustaining Members of the Tricycle Community. Watch the film here.
 In this week's Tricycle Talk contributing editor Richard Eskow speaks with the Chief Geek of Buddhist Geeks, Vincent Horn, about the intersection of technology and the dharma, and debate who is more cynical: grown-up hippies or the Internet generation? Listen to their conversation here.
