CURRENT MISSION
to wake up and love
ABOUT ME
i love the earth. i'm smart and fun. i am sincere in my desire to help others and grow into the best person i can be. i have a long way to go and i'm good for it.
PHILOSOPHY
"Purifying one's mind-stream and benefiting as many beings as possible" -Garchen Rinpoche speaking to me about the essence of all religions.
Always working towards greater humility and not taking myself too seriously.
Is it even worth mentioning that most of modern civilization was built on the most humanly awful atrocities and dysfunctional consciousness? I know I've worked for change outwardly but I've determined my initial approach will be somewhat internal as I haven't a chance of accomplishing peace and sustainability in the world until I master my own mind and clean up my act! In time the empire of illusion will unravel and I want to be capable of living well and helping others in the post-mortem struggle. We got gardens to grow!
The only hold the devil has on you is through what you're holding onto...

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto
life is so amazing. so far.
Hmm. I could recommend Garchen Institute in Arizona for buddhist studies and inconceivable blessings.
Mexico and Guatemala.
My mother passed away in the summer of 2012 and we had a 3 day vigil at home with her body in her bed and then buried her in a green cemetary wrapped in blankets and covered in flowers, honey, and various offerings. This was definitely one of the most beautiful and powerful times in my life.
Insegna, impara, condividi
There's always more to learn about anything... but I can certainly share insight into Buddhism. I'm really interested in working with others on figuring out how to be who we already truly are, in relationship to everything as it actually is, living peacefully and filthy rich with all that we have to offer. I am now a certified health coach which is some nice icing on years of passionate study in physical, mental, and spiritual well being.
