I am a scholar of Buddhist studies and an enthusiastic practitioner of meditaiton. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Asian Religions focusing on modern Buddhism in Thailand. I am also interested in Buddhism in the West and the interactions between Western and Asian Buddhists throughout history. I research the interchange between these two groups, and how their interpretations of Buddhism, show how Buddhism and certain practices, such as meditation, serve as a vital link between Thailand and the international community. This is my academic and personal interest. I blog about experiences during meditation as well as thoughts about Buddhism in America.
