Your Field Guide to Danny’s Bling

Last updated on: January 17, 2013 at 3:45 pm By dannyfisher

This past week, I moderated a conversation between Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges and Zen Peacemakers founder Bernie Glassman, authors of the brand new book The Dude and the Zen Master, for the Library Foundation of Los Angeles (one of the best causes around). A post about that event is forthcoming, but I’ve already received lots of notes from people who attended and/or saw the pictures of it online. Above all else, they’re wondering about what all of the things are on my... Read more

Remembering Dr. Marlene Jones

Last updated on: January 13, 2013 at 2:06 pm By dannyfisher

I was sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Marlene Jones, a mighty and important presence in terms of thinking about power, privilege and difference in American sanghas. Hers is a tremendous loss for all Buddhist Americans. A bio for her at the website of the San Francisco Zen Center reads: Dr. Marlene Jones holds appointments in the Social and Cultural Studies Program in Humanities Department at Dominican University. She is a social and community activist with a doctorate in... Read more

Robert Thurman Does It Again…

Last updated on: December 28, 2012 at 5:43 pm By dannyfisher

Not long ago, I brought you news about Robert Thurman’s attempt at an “internet meme” — a video about Grover Norquist’s Congressional pledges. At 11 minutes and minus the snappy presentation of similarly lengthy memes like “Kony 2012″, I expressed skepticism about the chances of “Buddha Bob’s” video assuming meme proportions. But he gets the last laugh, I think: the video is currently at 29,161 views and growing! Not only that: Buddha Bob is at it again! He’s just uploaded a... Read more

My Five Favorite Films of 2012

Last updated on: December 28, 2012 at 8:14 am By dannyfisher

If you asked me, it was a good year for films with a social conscience. In the spirit of end-of-the-year lists, here are five of my favorites from 2012. I hope you’ll share yours with us in the comments too. * * * 1. Lincoln, dir. Steven Spielberg I’m of the opinion that Lincoln is Steven Spielberg’s best film, and that sends it right to the top of any year’s list. Sure, the screenwriter, Tony Kushner, is... Read more

My First Climate Reality Presentation Gets Written Up in Cerritos College’s Talon Marks
