Hello all!
My name is Paul and I have been drawn to Buddhism my entire life, starting from my childhood in Japan. I have mostly studied Soto Zen but in the past 5 years took refuge in the Drikung Kagyu Lineage.
I have a great interest in Chakrasamvara, Vajrayogini and Vajrakilaya. I practice the sadhanas regularily but I am not physically close to Lamas or other practitioners and would love to connect with practioners to share experiences, questions, ect. I recieved the Vajrayogini empowerment from Ven. Traga Rinpoche and the Chakrasamvara and Vajrakilaya empowerments from H.E Garchen Rinpoche but alas I am not in a place where I can bring my questions to them.
I would also love to talk to people about dharma in general, so feel free to drop me a line and say hi! This feels like a great online sangha

It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."
