Profile Information

About Me:

I'm currently studying in the field of animal care and work part time at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, part time as a dog walker, and part time as a cook. This past year I received my Buddhist name, Shaku Ai-hou, and took the vows of Amida Buddha to do so. Part of what drew me to Buddhism was the idea that every living thing can be enlightened and is therefore seen as equal...which makes sense to an animal lover.

There is an active Buddhist group that meets in Kenora, which isn't too far from Winnipeg. They aren't affiliated with any particular sect of Buddhism. David and Caroline may be stopping in Kenora on their next trip to Canada, next year.

I'm going to be leading a 4 day retreat in Kenora/Minaki in May.

Metta,
Thich nu Tinh Quang

Have you been to Malaysia before? Malaysia is a lovely country with many islands and beaches . Come visit me and my animals one day, I do have guests from UK especially in summer..

I hope you job and your Buddhism go well for you. I have to say I find the depth and variety of Buddhist tradition and thought quite overwhelming sometimes.

My latest acquisition is a GSD who is overtly malnourished and tied up for a long hours.

In fact I think its somewhere on the photos in our u-tube video at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y5xeCZMxhHM - about half way through. We flew over in January so it was pretty frozen but I guess you're warming up now?
