noble eightfold path
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: [email protected], www.facebook.com/italianbuddhist
