Walking the path of mindfulness one breath at a time. I'm just doing my part to live a peaceful life as an Italian American Buddhist in Buffalo, NY of all places! I am a Buddhist who follows in the tradition of the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and HH the 14th Dalai Lama but I enjoy teachings from all Buddhist traditions. I try to be open to everything. I wish you peace! Feel free to contact me at: bhodi@italianbuddhist.com, www.facebook.com/italianbuddhist
