About Me
Aum HareKrishna!
I am a Mayahana Buddhist (Northern Buddhism) which is based on scriptures of the Greater Vehicle such as the Compassionate Lotus Sutra. Like the lotus which buds each year I attempt to get a higher degree.
North of India it is called Ch'an Buddhism/Taoism. Monks greet priests with a short verbal presentation, which the priest may or may not answer.
I teach self-defense for women, principles of self-control, and public speaking at my own internal university.
I believe in the hope that evil can be allieviated from the world, the evil of witchcraft and cancer, the evil of discrimination and prejudice, the evil of slavery, the evil of genocide, the evil of food contamination, the evil of idolatry, the evil of dictatorships, the evil of inbreeding and racism, and the evil of psychotropic drugs designed to shut us up. The evil of racial misclassifcation by the United States is a problem. The "metstisos" of South and Central America and the "Dassies", a diminutive of Dasus, the "Dark Ones," of Southern India, who worship the dark god Krishna, are lumped together by misguided US troops as "race of terrorism", when it is the United States doing the genocide and terrorism.
May your thoughts be pure and your verbalizations appropriate in the Temple of Freedom.

I love your rocks. I've never met a rock that I didn't want to take home with me. I have them everywhere.
