So! BLOOM, my third album, is now out and about! It is a collection of 10 original songs about various Buddhist figures or inspired by Buddhist thought.

DHARMASONG is my second album and if you like the song "Ki Ki So So", I hope you will pick up a copy! This first button lets you buy it through CD Baby.
DHARMASONG is also available on iTunes!!! So, please download the tracks you like or the whole album (but you won't get all the lyrics and pretty album booklet...)
This is my *first* YouTube video - taken at the Wesak International Film Festival 2008 in Malaysia! I normally perform seated, so this is a bit unusual.
In June 2008 I left for my first international tour - three weeks in Malaysia, beginning with opening the Wesak International Film Festival (www.wiff.org.my), which was *very* exciting and also a bit Exhausting. Check out the photos in my "pics".
Thanks for all who have become fans. I really do appreciate you.
I'm in my early studies at the moment, but this Friday night I'll be beginning classes at the Van Duc Temple here in Biloxi. It's the only temple in the area because we have a sizable Vietnamese population here, but not much else. In the meantime I'm reading as much on the various traditions as I can (a bit of a slow reader), and have read "In My Own Words" and currently reading "How To Practice: The Way To A Meaningful Life", as well as a couple books on Buddhism in general.
I'm sure the traditions of Tibet and Vietnam probably have some marked differences, and I look forward to learning more about the tradition of the local Buddhists here as well. ^_^
