Hello!
I thought it would be fun to sign up for this community, so here I am.

My interests include Buddhism and everything related to Buddhism.

My name “JamyangLhamo” means Wisdom Goddess in Tibetan, a name I received from my guru (teacher) when we met.

I found it to be a particularly good coping mechanism during high school. :heart:

I’m 21 and recently had my birthday, though I was diagnosed this week :jester:

Hope to see a few friendly faces around when I get acquainted with the forum!

Yarr! How’s the travels faring you? Yarr! Me matey!

Pirate talk aside, that’s a nice avatar you’ve got! Kind of reminds me of a cat holding tayaki, the sweet bread with bean curd inside that resembles a fish! Just caught my eye, I could be wrong though, I think it’s cool!

Welcome to Wrong Planet.

I did a quick look at Tibetan Buddhism and came across this description.



Interesting but far too complex in my humble opinion to absorb.

Howdy hi, thanks for the welcome!

Ooh, wow another video summarising Tibetan Buddhism in detail! I have yet to watch this one thoroughly, though it makes sense that it would be a complex topic — even monks I meet who have studied Buddhism their whole life still admit they think they have lots to learn! :heart:
