Not Two: The Appamada Story

Peg Syverson with Flint Sparks
and the Appamada Sangha

Here is where our shared story, the story of Appamada begins. We decided to share this book in serial form here, and in print form later, once it is completed. It allows readers to follow along and offer comments or suggestions as the book is developed. Because these files are very large, they are being hosted on Google Drive in PDF format. You can read them there and even leave comments if you like. We will link new parts as we get them finished; you can subscribe to be notified. Please read and enjoy! We’d love to hear your comments.
