Trans rights activist, feminist, retired firefighter, and Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Michele Kaemmerer has passed away at the age of 80. Michele was the first trans fire captain in the Los Angeles Fire Dept. She was a long-time, valued member of Senshin Buddhist Temple in South Central Los Angeles.

I've read from others that they consider Thích Nhất Hạnh's The Miracle of Mindfulness to be useful only to beginning meditators, but I think it is so much more than that. Especially with the context given in translator Mobi Ho's introduction that the book was originally written as a long letter, and then having read the book myself as someone who has been meditating for years, it is clear to me that the book is equally valuable or perhaps even more valuable as an inspiring reminder to practice and how practice can be done.
