Something I like about living in Nova Scotia is that while there is strong presence of the nondual teaching here — Shambhala Buddhism headquarters and Gampo Abbey, Zen, the Ramana Maharshi ashram, Nidra Yoga, Celtic mysticism in the land and the music — there’s no sense of a popular culture of nonduality. There’s no nondual buzz. Nonduality isn’t breathing down my neck. There’s just Nova Scotia.
