About Me

I like to get to the bottom of things I call "dharma rumors". I like to explode dharma misinformation, in an honest attempt to make sure all truly sincere seekers don't waste your entire lives thinking about, or practicing something that doesn't work. When it does work you'll know it! It'll lead you, in this lifetime, to a place beyond all fear, all suffering, old age, and ultimately death.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Sincere people who are honestly trying to reach highest enlightenment for the benefit of every sentient being in this entire universe.
