About Me

If you are on blogspot: www.dharmabrother.blogspot.com....Not sure if I can still call myself a devout Buddhist these days and though I am commited to living the monastic life I am not sure which wisdom tradition I will ordain in....whether from the east or the west, north or south, past or future.I study with a group called Philadelphia Insight.www.philadelphiainsight.org.............We meet on Sunday nights at 1611 walnut, 8pm. 4th floor in the Dhyana Yoga studio.I have been sober since March 29th, 2008 and it's really wonderful.
