Pest control through generosity

I recently hosted a friend who is primarily a retreatant in India – as in he sits in a small room doing specific Buddhist practices day-in and day-out for about seven months a year.  He has been doing this for a number of years, which is inspiring in and of itself, but doing so requiresContinue reading “Pest control through generosity”

This might be a little sacrilegious…  but I want to share these thoughts nonetheless.  I want to preface what I am going to say with the fact that I am, deep in my heart, a Buddhist practitioner.  I have a strong connection with Tibetan lamas from the Drikung Kagyu, Nyingma and Gelugpa lineages.  Also, IContinue reading “Embodiment and the Buddhadharma”

Continuing my journey through Lyme’s disease

This is a continuation from a previous post.  Go back and read that post to get more context of how I got here.  🙂 So I had had insidious, strange symptoms for about six months before I even got up the nerve to go to the doctor.  Having my blood tested at first, I didContinue reading “Continuing my journey through Lyme’s disease”
