Hello from Wale UK

Postby Snow Tiger » Sun Nov 04, 2012 3:41 pm

Hello everyone My name is Gerry. I live in a large town in North Wales in the UK. I have been reading Buddhist books for about 12 years, but only recently took refuge in the Three Jewels. I have not been following any certain path, But I have become more interested in Tibetan Buddhism over the past few months. I look forward to learning more from you.

Peace and Happiness :buddha2: :namaste:

I don't even have Welsh blood, Half Irish and half English. But I have lived in Wales for 26 years. I was even in a Welsh circus once. :juggling: So I'm becoming part of the furniture. :namaste:
