DIY has a long history in Buddhism, going back to the Buddha himself. In today&#8217;s world are you even more on your own? When you have the teachings of every tradition at your finger tips, how do you choose what to practice? Do you follow a tradition or put together your own practice? How do you know you&#8217;re doing it right?</p>
<p>Panelists include:</p>
<p>Stephen Batchelor (Secular Buddhist)<br />
Kelly Sosan Bearer (Buddhist Geek)<br />
Hokai Sobol (Shingon Teacher)<br />
Ken McLeod (Unfettered Mind)</p>
