Tibetan Buddhism

I took refuge in 2011 with my Gelugpa Tibetan Buddhist teacher. I took refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, not in any specific tradition. However, I do know most about the tradition I am trained in.

On this page you’ll find those of my blogposts which were inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and yet are accessible (I think) for people with a more general spiritual inclination.

Check out my Contemporary Buddhism blog for more specialized contemplations.
