CURRENT MISSION Dispel ignorance, including my own. ABOUT ME An aspiring religious studies scholar (Buddhism), every single day I am amazed by how much one still has to learn. I am a quiet person because there is so much that needs to be contemplated. I try to be the best I can, and to me this means being compassionate and open-minded.
