Well, I have finally decided to jump onto the blogging bandwagon, to join, as I would have said years ago, “the colossal electronic monument to one’s ego”! It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that I have come to a better understanding of blogs – having actually read some pretty regularly now! – and feel that it is an important medium of communication, sharing and connecting, especially in societies where freedom of speech is exercised at one’s peril.
For my part, I hold no special truths, other than those taught by the Buddha, and with the intensive learning and practice that comes with being in the robes, hope to share some of this knowledge with others who don’t have the time or inclination to spend in study and meditation. Indeed, I don’t feel I have anything more to say than has already been said, so there may be nothing radical or special about these essays. Some ideas will undoubtedly rub some people the wrong way, and that’s cool, I just hope that the discussion can remain civil, respectful and courteous. There is always the option of navigating away from this blog!
So, with that, thanks for stumbling onto this blog, and I hope that you can take away a little bit of something to make your life happier.
