My name is Paul, and I’m a Buddhist monk. I grew up in San Diego and when I was 15 I had a deeply moving experience that left me no doubt of the existence of God as an Omnipresent and Omnipotent force of Love. This experience set me off on a long journey of seeking for the truth I felt in that blissful moment.

10 years later (13 years ago), I met an enlightened teacher who agreed to teach me and initiated me into a Buddhist order as a monk. My teacher was the culmination of what I was looking for all my life. Lucky me!

Since my initiation, I have been engaged in the discipline of spiritual practice. I have agreed to (and indeed am obligated to) pass on the teachings so freely given to me, to anyone who is interested in the ancient art of meditation and mindfulness.
