Welcome to my website, celebrating the beauty, power, and universality of the Buddhist diety Kuan Yin, The Goddess of Mercy.

My interest derives from decades of Buddhist practice, beginning in the city of Montreal with my Japanese Buddhist group. I became a Buddhist at 7 PM on the 7the day of the 7th month of the year, July. Three 7's. I received entrance in an official ceremony with priests from Japan officiating.

The beauty and strength of the Buddhist faith in Asia appeals to me, and I even prefer listening to Asian religious music over European classical music. I love Buddhist art, paintings, and architecture as well.

So I wonder when and where I was an Asian Buddhist. I find all sorts of references to Kuan Yin in Chinese and Japanese novels. When I read the famous Japanese novel, The Pillow Book, written almost a 1000 years ago by a noble woman of the royal court, I disagreed with the criticism that this is a shallow story.

The diary jottings are simply beautiful, and show a healthy acceptance of the life of a woman's body, enjoying a series of romances with other court nobles, suffering none of the Christian punishments that continue to this day.

The Japanese of that time period differed greatly from the Chinese morality confining women, which allowed "first" wives to sell the other wives to brothels, when the husband died. A book called Rice Bowl Women explained to me great social injustices to Chinese women, continuing until the 1949 changes in divorce laws.

This website focusses on miracles of the Buddhist faith, not denying that miracles occur in other faiths.

Today as I began to work, I felt strong vibrations through my heart chakra. Though I have 50,000 followers on social media, and over 1,000,000 website visitors, I still feel always alone.

What is this odd karma of solitariness?

When my heart chakra opens, I will not feel so alone, but then I will not be I.
