What is your interest in Amida Trust
We have been friends since 96, maybe I relate to the writing part, but not only as a buddhist intercultural counselor I am intersted in 'my own culture'which is closer to my own than Asia. So it is nice to see and reconnect from a common background.
The tibetan buddhism is also culturally biased and I do not relate so much to say dutch or italian buddhism per se. Looking for roots and common ground.
