About My Journey

Welcome to my personal space dedicated to Buddhist philosophy and teachings. As a lifelong student of the Dharma, I have devoted myself to understanding and sharing the profound wisdom of Buddhism through various forms of expression.

My journey began over fifteen years ago when I first encountered the teachings of the Buddha. Since then, I have immersed myself in the study of Buddhist scriptures, the writings of Master Minh Đăng Quang, and the wisdom of various Buddhist traditions.

Through this website, I share my personal reflections, scholarly research, and poetic interpretations of Buddhist teachings, hoping to illuminate the path for fellow seekers and contribute to the preservation and understanding of these timeless wisdom traditions.
