I'd like to hear from some other DU'ers about their particular path and traditions.

14. No specific path

For me, it started out about 13 years ago after watching Seven Years in Tibet. Buddhism and the Dalai Lama really sparked my curiosity and so my journey began.

To my good fortune, I was able to attend a continuing education coarse at Rice University on Buddhism and it was totally fascinating. That's when I knew I was "home." My teachers were also the founders of a Tibetan Buddhist center and I was able to attend several of their events including teachings with their teachers from Tibet.

Since then, I've been learning by listening to teachings on the internet and reading books. One of my favorites is reading Tricycle magazine. I really enjoy it because there are teachings from all the different groups of Buddhism. One of the biggest lessons is that all the groups have something wonderful to offer, so I enjoy learning from them all.

There are numerous teachers I enjoy, including Thich Nhat Hanh, Ajahn Brahm, Sharon Salzberg, Pema Chodron, Ajahn Chah, Surya Das and many more.

I'm very happy we have a Buddhism group on DU!
