When I go yurt camping on January 13-16 at Bullard's Beach State Park near Bandon, Oregon, I plan to include a number of spiritual practices while on Retreat: walking, Vipassana meditation, reading spiritual books, Taijiquan, Qigong. I am interested in the ethical and aesthetic aspects of Zen Buddhist practice. I will read two books:
