Thanks to the excellent Buddhist blog Woodmore Village for alerting me to the fact that 21-year-old Buddhist blogger Will Henderson has developed a downloadable meditation software with timed silences, gongs, and even an ability to coordinate with iTunes! Henderson, a computer programmer who meditates, has his own blog on “programming, wondering, and living life.” So if you don’t want the software (free with optional opportunity for donation), browse through this sweet-smart fellow’s musings. Here, he explains how academic studies in India steered him toward his current Zen meditation practice. Going places is not his aim, but this young man is off and running on a tank that will always sustain him.
