Thanks Richard!

Just for those that don't know, Rob Burbea is a resident teacher at Gaia house (an insight retreat centre), in the UK. I have only have listened to his talks, but I highly rate him (and obviously Richard does too).

Hi,

I'm a big fan of Rob's style of teaching and his "Seeing That Frees". Is somebody interested in discussing one of the talks above or a chapter in his book? We could read a chapter individually and then discuss it in a video conferencing session.

I've been meditating for 20 years in Triratna following mostly Anapanasati. Thanks to Rob I've started to see the value of talking about Emptiness in addition to the three Lakshanas.

Please contact me at fraber (at) fraber (dot) de if you're interested. We could discuss in English, German or Spanish.
