Profile Information

About Me:
Member of the Blue Heron Zen Buddhist Centre in Hamilton Ontario. Recently retired from my place of employment and now involved in some volunteer work and enjoying time practicing some new and old hobbies.
My blog: http://compassionateconsumption.blogspot.com
Faith Background & Affiliation
Buddhist (formerly RC and Baha'i)
Occupation or Primary Activity
Volunteer with Royal Botannical Gardens and Neighbour to Neighbour Literacy Program
Involvement in Spirituality/Religion
I was introduced to Buddhism, in particular, the writings of Thich Nhat Hahn back in 1999, by a psychiatrist I was visiting. After practicing for a short while on my own, I eventually found the (what was then) Blue Heron Dharma Centre here in Hamilton. I continue to practice (meditation) and study (dharma) on my own, with the sangha and the support of founder and director, Su co Tinh Quang.
