[Buddha-l] Recollections of Coyote available on-line

[Richard P. Hayes]

Dear denizens of buddha-l,

For those of you who like to take walks down memory lane, I have put
together a collection of squibs (mostly my own, unfortunately)
contributed to buddha-l during the first decade of its existence. The
file is in Portable Document Format (PDF) with internal links making
navigation easier. At the end of the file there is an index with active
links to the essays.
 
The collection has a preface explaining why I used to write under the
name Coyote and why the collection is entitled <cite>Does Coyote Have
No-Buddha Nature? Reflections of an Internet Trickster.</cite> 

The squibs are arranged into chapters by subject matter. Each chapter
begins with an introductory essay that provides some context. The
chapters are entitled as follows:

Introduction to Internet Buddhism
Buddhist and Western Philosophy
Dharma and Science
Psychotherapy and Religion
Scholars and Practitioners: Thinkers and Meditators
Society and Morality
Karma and Rebirth
To be or not to be: Non-self and Nirvana
Dreams and Fables
Humor and Satire 

Be warned: The file is large (1207596 bytes). If you have a fast cable
connection, figure on waiting 27 seconds for the file to load. If you
have an old 1200 bps modem, it could take about a week. The whole file
is somewhere around 285 pages, so printing it would require enough ink
to warrant another invasion of an oil-rich country. Print--and invade
countries--at your own risk. To save trees, and invasions, the best bet
would be just to read it on your computer screen, even though doing so
will probably result in your getting cataracts.

If interested, you can download this monstrosity (but not the ego with
overweening pride that created it) by going to the download page on my
website: http://www.unm.edu/~rhayes/download.html#coyote
