What this is

Buddhism has arrived in the West. Currently, the West has many different expressions of Buddhism — Japanese forms, Tibetan rituals, Theravada lineages. Practices shaped for those cultures. Not shaped for the Western mind.

This is a shift away from the foreign practices — the robes, the prostrations, the chanting. This is a practice for our Western life.

This meets the Western mind where it actually is — in its own history, its own science, its own unrest — and points from there.

Curious what Buddhism actually is? Read more here.

The Westerner who is never at rest. Who has tried the routines. Who suspects the problem goes deeper than the solutions they've been given.

Who is looking for themselves.

Three doors to see who you are.

The inquiry shows how the self was made — through the West's own history, science, and philosophy.

The practice shows how to see through it — in sitting, in doing what you love, in ordinary life.

The community is where you find others on the same path.

This transmission is ongoing. I'm still sitting, still reading. The writing will reflect where I'm at in my practice.
