Ajá. Ya me he puesto al día, he leído lo que escribisteis en mi ausencia. Muchas gracias, Rachel, la canturreadora del norte, porque yo también tengo a mi disposición una cancioncilla del dzogchen, que es incluso mucho más simple que tu Namo Amida B…
Uy, Isa, qué vida...
No, si es que la vida de papá o de mamá debe ser todo un mundo. Yo no he tenido la suerte o desgracia de serlo, pero es que la vida es un flipe de todos los modos, creo que todas las personitas viven en todo un mundo, tengan o n…

Hi, Susthama, good to see you too. Is there a particular reason why you chose this group to which I could be of help to you?

No sé qué es esto ni qué va a pasar
Hola. No sé si este grupo está vivo o muerto, pues la última actividad registrada es de hace casi un mes. Hoy me he registrado como amigo de Amida. ¿Hay alguien ahí?
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I used to be an environmental biologist, but a few years in China have totally changed my life. Well, I'm unsure of what to say about me... Nowadays I am only enganged in working and studying, sort of thing, and being quite a lonely one. I am doing a Phd in History of Tibetan Religion, and so I seldom have time for anything apart from work and study. I guess what these years have brought about is to change birds, trees and flowers for a big mess of Tibetan, Spanish, English and Chinese languages, plus an investigation into Tibetan Bon ancient history... Bizarre...
- Amida Membership
- Not a member
- Faith Background & Affiliation
- None, really. Although I was technically a catholic (by my baptism when a baby), I disengaged totally from any religious activity at about 17 years old. Interested in buddhism in the last few years, I nevertheless was very much impacted by Batchelor's agnostic buddhism's concept, and I try to navigate in these rather difficult waters between a honest search of a spiritual path and a strong sense of agnosticism or schepticism
- Occupation or Primary Activity
- I work as translator and corrector at the Bureau of Translation of the Communist Party of China
- Involvement in Spirituality/Religion
- Since 2006, member of Namkhai Norbu's Dzogchen Community, although I remain almost totally dettached, living here in China. Also I have come to meet a few Bon masters here and, in 2008, in France.
- What is your interest in Amida Trust
- Living in China I badly need a meaningful exchange in a relatively open environment within Western buddhistm, in a language I can truely communicate (not like Chinese and Tibetan!!). Mainly about the sense of being a seeker in a Buddhist or Buddhist-like tradition, about practice, etc. And making Dharma friends. And about how to be more participant, I am trying to find a way out of my issolation here that helps me become a real participant in some real sense.
- How did you find this web site?

- Dear Fran,
thank you for your comment, I'm also hoping, that we will exchange more in the future. It is really amazing to be in connection with somebody in other part of the world, and share something from your ordinary life.
I hope you will enjoy this site.
