Hello and welcome to my blog!
This blog will be about Buddhism. ‘Oh! not another one,’ I hear you say. Well, yes but……….
There are many great blogs on Buddhism as a religion and even more on Buddhism as a philosophy. I want to write about Buddhism as a life-style, which means there will be no Buddhist jargon or dogma. It will not be based in the metaphysical world, but will have its feet planted firmly on this planet.
I want it to be easy to follow and practical. I will use the Buddha’s early teachings as the blogs foundation, and I will explain them in a way that is relevant to your life today.
You will find some of what I am going to write about in my book, ‘The Best Way To Catch A Snake.’ You may also follow the book on Facebook.
I hope you enjoy the blog.
