My Life at the Sagely City of Ten Thousand Buddhas

Hello my name is Kenny from Buffalo NY. I am currently enrolled at the Dharma Realm Buddhist University at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Ukiah, California. The purpose of this Blog is to document my experience. My hope is to show the people I know and others, about what life is like attending a Buddhist University inside a Buddhist Temple, and how important it is to build bridges between the east and west, culturally and spiritually.

Mudgeeraba, what a great name.

Ive been in Mudgeeraba (prn. mud-jeer-ah-bah) At Gold Coast Dharma Realm Temple for 1 week about- It is really beautiful. I am really busy with lectures and the daily schedule, so i can come on the internet about once a week. The session is starting out great, everyone gets along fine and we are all sincerely here for a purpose. That purpose is to better understand the Buddhas teachings, and to deeply investigate the Shurangama Sutra. It is my opinion that in order to believe something to be true, you have to actually practice it, and actually understand just what "IT" is, otherwise we are all just like blind people leading other blind people, which is of no benefit to anyone. Just a thought. So that being said, -Take care-

I tried posting pics but it takes forever with the internet speed here. Might have to wait a couple of months... Ive got some really nice ones too. We went to a majestic waterfall on top of a mountain. We went to the coast...and even the place im staying at is like something out of a fantasy novel...All pretty much normal.
