| The idea behind Buddhist Boot Camp is simple: "Boot Camp" is a training method, and Buddhism is all about training the mind. Many people claim they don't have time to meditate every morning, but they still want spiritual guidance without any dogma or rituals, and that's exactly what Buddhist Boot Camp provides in a quick and easy-to-digest format. Learn more abut Timber Hawkeye and Buddhist Boot and listen to his Ted Talk at 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, at Towne Center Books, 555 Main St. For more information, call 925-846-8826.

Posted by Curious, a resident of the Beratlis Place neighborhood, on Feb 28, 2013 at 2:26 pm When they say Buddhist Boot Camp does that mean they're preparing people for war? Who are the enemies of Buddhism?

Posted by Neighbor, a resident of the Canyon Meadows neighborhood, on Feb 28, 2013 at 5:29 pm I have always expected better from Pleasanton residents, but became disenchanted with too many members of our Community starting about 10 years back. Too many people have no values; only thinking of what they can get from society free - Gimme Gimme. No, Buddhists are not war mongers, but they do not believe in God. They are not Christians; while 70% of our Nation's people are. They are not the only ones, who practice meditation. Other faiths and religions do also. Stop calling people idiots!
