Expertise

Happiness is to share with you the practical aspects of Buddhism to live in peace with ourselves in this dangerous and unpredictable world. I am a Buddhist practising the Theravada tradition. You can ask me any question on Buddhism, especially relating to practical living as a lay Buddhist. Try me; I have answered more than a thousand questions since joining this category.

Experience in the area

I was brought up in the 50's as a Buddhist. For the past 30 years I have read numerous books on Buddhism and listened to numerous talks on Buddhism by well-respected and learned monks and lay teachers. I conduct Buddhist classes for parents of Sunday School children in a Theravada Buddhist Temple.

Organizations

I am a life member of the Buddhist Missionary Society Malaysia.

Publications

YOU ARE INVITED TO VISIT MY BLOG @ http://lifeislikethat999.blogspot.com/ Published a book called "The Rainbow And The Treasure". It is a compilation of extracts from various sources to introduce Buddhism to beginners. (Currently out of print)

Education/Credentials

Bachelor of Commerce And Administration, Victoria University Of Wellington, NZ.(1974)

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

By sharing my knowledge I can learn more in the process.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

That we have a powerful mind which can release us from the shackles of ignorance and fear. That all answers to life can be found within ourselves.
