In response to a query - I thought more people might be interested in obtaining the Inquiring Mind. It is a semi-annual journal and can be obtained by writing at Inquiring Mind P.O.Box 9999, North Berkeley Station Berkeley, CA 94709. In the spirit of dana, the journal is offered to all who ask for it. But the journal is made possible through donations and readers are requested to make donations as they feel fit. To save on mailing costs, IM waits until there is a sufficient number of requests and mails out the journal at bulk rate. (I would suggest a donation of atleast $5, preferably more). They place people on their mailing list, and keep sending out the new issues to all on the list. IM also offers a calendar which has a special theme each year. For example, the 1990 calendar had Metta (loving kindness) as its theme. This year's theme is Dana (generosity). The quotes and words on the calendar are by Sharon Salzberg, who is one of the co-founders of Insight Meditation Society and is one of the senior Dhamma teachers in the US. The proceeds from the sale of the calendar go to help support IM. I have nothing to do with IM directly, but have benefitted greatly from it. I hope others find this information useful.
