a new friend from dhammawheel
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2009 3:55 am
Hi All:
I have been participating over at dhammawheel for the past three weeks, and I also wanted to join dharmawheel, because although I know the most about Theravada Buddhism, and I practice in this vein, I also have questions about Mahayana, and am interested in getting to understand Mahayana better than I do.
I live on an island in SE Alaska. Don't know any Buddhists here. I'm married to a non-Buddhist scientist, and take care of quite a few animals--birds, dogs, ducks, and cats. I'm very active in community work, leadership roles, play old time fiddle music, teach in the humanities for U of Alaska, and enjoy all outdoor activities like hiking, canoeing...
I have a daily meditation practice, and I'm committed to going along and trying to understand change, process, what constitutes real happiness--the type of happiness Buddha realized.
I was introduced to Buddhism through Thich Nhat Hanh, and he holds a dear spot in my heart ...
Anyway, hello everyone -- I hope you are well. Sher
