Hello, and welcome to the BellaOnline Buddhism site. I am a teacher and writer on spirituality, metaphysics, chakras, meditation, and of course, Buddhism. I began studying Buddhism in college 22 years ago, and have studied with both Vajrayana and Zen teachers, in addition to my academic studies. I eventually became interested in the mystic arms of all the world religions, and no longer affiliate myself solely with Buddhism, but it remains a personal passion, and my primary spiritual reference point.

Buddhism is many things to many people. For some, it is an organized religion with houses of worship, priests, rituals, and holidays. For others it is a philosophy, an approach to living that exists apart from any religion. For still others, it is a source of practices and tools for spiritual growth, within or outside of a Buddhist belief system. Over time, I hope to touch on all aspects of Buddhism within this site. If you are new to Buddhism be sure to check out my e-book Introduction to Buddhism and Buddhist Meditation.

I also have a special interest in women´s spirituality, and so make a point of featuring many women Buddhist authors, teachers, and biographies on this site.

In addition to this site, I maintain a non-denominational blog on meditation, energy healing, metaphysics, spirituality, women mystics, spiritual books, and spiritual parenting at Mommy Mystic. I have an Amazon.com Store that lists my recommended books on both Buddhism (for adults and kids) and other spiritual traditions. Or, if you are interested in meditation classes in the south Los Angeles area, check out my schedule at The Maat Institute. You can also follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook - I´d love to connect.

In Peace,
Lisa
