I'm fired up on:

Buddhism is my passion and in particular the devotional, academic and everyday application of Mahayana ethics and praxis. Intellectually I specialize in the philosophy of religion and take it very seriously as one of the crucial disciplines for mankind's eventual emancipation from existential crises. More importantly, I see the role of Mahayana Buddhism as a crucial cog of the general wheel on which the majesty of Enlightenment rolls on.

Tunes I rock out to:

Too many to list here.

Travel style:

I prefer to travel with a small group of friends. At least, the most enjoyable trip I've had so far was like that.

Quote:

"Aspiring bodhicitta - aspiring the mind of great compassion, universally saving all living beings; aspiring the mind of great lovingkindness, equally protecting all worlds; aspiring the mind of calm joy, letting all living beings cease their sufferings; aspiring the mind of benefit, letting all living beings forsake evil dharmas; aspriing the mind of sympathy, protecting those with fear and terror; aspiring the unobstructed mind, forsaking all obstructions and hindrances; aspiring the great broad mind, through permeates all universes; aspiring the boundless mind, equivalent to empty space, wherein there is nowhere they do not go; aspiring the deep and vast mind, through seeing all the tathagatas; aspiring the pure mind, through never contradicting wisdom throughout the triple dharma realm; aspiring the mind of wisdom, fully entering the ocean of omniscient wisdom."

Sports I do:

Karate, gym

Favorite books:

Too many.

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Everybody

I want to make a difference by:

Eventually landing a lecturing career so that I can teach and guide the next generation into a new era of self-understanding, peacemaking, and sexy liberation from suffering.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Cantonese

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I'm in a good mood. The state of mind is most crucial in determining one's capacity to absorb new stimuli.

Why I travel:

Because it is amongst the best methods by which to acquire knowledge.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

What kind of lame question is this?

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

See above.

Before I die I'd like to:

Chant 'Namo Amitofuo' ten times, so I may return to this world again to alleviate the suffering of all sentients. :P
