Profile Information

Where do you live?

Bangkok, Thailand, formerly Haebangchon, Seoul

About Me:

I'm a Buddhist/journalist happily wandering without a map in Asia. I'm from Nanaimo on Canada's west coast where deer wander the streets and the mountains, forests, beaches and sun work a special magic. I love it.

But I guess not enough to live there :-). I enjoyed Seoul with its art exhibitons and galleries, the musicals and dramas and the the virbrant, multi-talented expat community involved in painting, music, photograph y. drama and every other art from you can think of. But I wanted to study Theravardan Buddhism and moved to Bangkok in June 2008 to do that.

One of Korea's special attractions is its Buddhism. Buddhism, which I slid into as I searched for release from anxiety and stress, has been very good for me, and means a lot to me. Living here has helped me know myself better.

Wonhyo is a fascinating figure in Korean history. I've also always liked the pilgrimage idea.

I was reading about the 88 Temple Pilgrimage Trail of Japan about a year about, and wondered then why Korea does not have such a thing. Especially since the temple-stay project seems to be so popular.

Thanks again. Namaste!

I am a student of Tibetan buddhism living in NYC. I am currently doing some research for my Lamas to convince them to come and teach in Seoul in a workshop. Do you think I can connect you with them so that they can contact you? Since my lamas are going into retreat at the end of Aug, I have limited time.. Please let me know. thanks you!
