Where can i download the book “Interbeing” ?
I’m not certain if it’s available digitally, but it’s best to contact the publisher directly – Parallax Press.
Kenley – Thanks to everyone for all that is being done here.
What is one to do with a completed OI Application once it is signed off on, who should it be sent to ?
Thay is a given, local practice center or anyone else ?
Thank You
At this time, the application should be held by your dharma teacher mentor with a copy for yourself. In the future it may route to a practice center but that process hasn’t been established yet.
