I have actually been posting for about a week and havent introduced myself yet.
So, hi!
My name is Mark. I live in Toronto. I've been into the dharma for about 14 years now. Went back to grad school after i lost my job and am doing my thesis about mindfulness in all its currently popular contexts - Buddhist, MBSR and "Langerian".
Some of my questions will likely be related to my work. But I also spend waaay too much time in isolation reading and writing since I've been in school, and would also enjoy just hanging out and talking shop with y'all.
Love,
Mark
Howdy.

Welcome Mark!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
