To make a long story short...

I sat there in front of the Tibetan Lama, wearing my maroon robes after years of studying Buddhism and said, "With all due respect, I don't believe the Buddha ever intended for his teachings to get THIS complicated!"

Does your life feel like a performance for an audience that is judging your every decision? Are you "putting on a show" to impress people with the clothes you wear, the car you drive, the home you buy, the spiritual retreats you attend, all in a subconsciously desperate attempt to receive external validation in order to give your life meaning? Posturing can get exhausting and expensive while authe

I was fortunate to hear Timber speak at a local book signing. His message is one of utmost importance that has been around for a long time; his approach to Buddhism makes it approachable and applicable for everyone. Everyone I know that has his book has either bought a copy for someone else, sometimes many others, or recommended it. That is what I am doing here. Spread the word, he may just be helping us change the world by helping us change ourselves.
