Hello, my good friends in the dharma. My name is Jeff Brooks, I live in
Tucson, AZ and I sat my first vipassana retreat with Robert Hover here in
1985. I have been an active member of the vipassana and other contemplative
communities for 30 years. I now publish an electronic newsletter called the
Southwest Insight E'letter, which is focused on the practice of vipassana and
sangha related issues. I also publish a resource guide for retreats and
centers in the Southwest. Back issues for both are available on the
Albuquerque Vipassana Sangha website at
http://www.cs.unm.edu/~richards/sangha/home.html.

I arrived here in your webspace while seeking a forum for dialog on
Theravadan Buddhism and the practice of vipassana. I look forward to the
company of your sangha.

May you all be free from suffering,

Jeff
