Not Two: The Appamada Story

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. We will link new parts as we get them finished; you can subscribe to be notified. Please read and enjoy! If you are unfamiliar with Zen terms, you can find a glossary here: Glossary of Zen Terms.

We’d love to hear your comments, questions, or feedback!
