Reading and writing Buddhist philosophy, esp Yogacara & Zen. Teaching religion and philosophy at Kenyon College, leading Kokosing Zen Center (https://www.kokosingzencenter.org/), raising my daughter, learning the native trees & plants of central Ohio
Just learned of the passing of David Tracy. This follows last fall's passing of Paul Mendes-Flohr. Both beloved mentors of the soul for many people. This picture shows from left to right: my father, David, myself, and Paul at dinner in Hyde Park, I think around 2013.

Some eyebrows go up in serious Buddhist philosophy circles when one starts talking gender. But here's the old fellers talking about gender. This is from the Catuḥśatakavṛtti/大乘廣百論釋論, Dharmapāla's commentary on Āryadeva's root text. Taishō 1571.
