My name is Darrell Ridley. My site is just about life, mine in particular. I hope that you can relate to my experiences and share with us your views.

In a world that doesn't make sense, it is great to be able to come and share your experiences with others of like mind.

I was a monk in the Mahayana tradition for 5 years and lived in India for 3 years and practiced Vajrayana(Tantric) teachings under the guidance of some highly recognized and accomplished Tibetan Lamas. I also studied, on and off, with some Zen masters in Japan for a period of 5 years.

But not interested in all the bells and whistles of ritual, I decided to disrobe and follow the teachings of Buddha, as written in the Sutras.
