Re: [TANGO-L] Hugging Meditation and Walking Meditation

Interesting, Chan, how interesting. In a recent post of mine to this list I
mentioned the meditative nature of tango (as I see it anyway), and
sheepishly complained that no-one ever mentions this, so I'm glad to feel
that I'm not a lone voice preaching in the desert.

I used to practice (soto) Zen myself in times past, and just yesterday I was
browsing the only book on Zen I still keep --the rest felt superfluous so I
gave them away-- 'Zen's mind, beginners' mind' (Shunryo Suzuki), and I was
thinking... 'This is the best tango book I've ever read...' I'm sure you
know what I mean without my having to elaborate!

Best, Alex in London, UK.

PS: Nice website, sparse and elegant -- the tango way...

> Rose,
> Thank you for the wonderful expression you have found for tango.  Good to
know I am not the only one relating dancing tango to meditation.  Recently I
have been reading Master Hanh's book on "Walking Meditation" to get some
inspiration for tango.  Your finding is very inspiring..., and I am
enlightened.
