Musings of a Geeky Buddhist

The thoughts and impressions of a Buddhist who is also an unapologetic geek in all things.

Welcome to my site! The blog will be where most of my “musings” will be located. The rest of the site is dedicated to information on Buddhism. It is my hope, that the information contained here will help new Buddhists with their questions.

I am a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist so some of the resources and blog posts will be specific to that, however the basic concepts of Buddhism which are shared across all the branches of Buddhism will also be shared here as well as resources to help people who are new to Buddhism.
