Interesting Sites

Buddhist Meditation and Personal Construct Psychology
Buddhism and PCP, cohabiting in a way that is anything but improper.

This site is a bit like a sorting station and much of its richness it due to its PCP curator Joern Scheer. You can find very interesting news and initiatives such as l’e-journal – a visionary electronic magazine dedicated to PCP – and the ‘PCP encyclopaedia’ A good reference site worth visiting!
