My Left Footed Buddhist Journey
My mind is on its way to becoming “an open doorway,” as Kyabje Gelek Rinpoche teaches. Perhaps the formerly closed/locked doors of perception are opening.

Why pay for a reading when so many sites offer free readings with references to ancient and deservedly revered texts from the likes of Confucius? Great question. When I began consulting the Book of Changes, 35 years back, I quickly realized I was out of my depth and needed qualified wisdom to interpret each respective reading (hexagram). The I Ching is so much more than a divination tool, as it is steeped in Taoist wisdom, Chinese history, and Buddhist philosophy. Now 35 years later, with thousands of readings under my belt, more life lived, and research into this Sagely Oracle I am prepared to guide you through your reading with insight and perspective.
Please take a moment to explore the Articles where you will find recent I Ching Interpretive readings and articles around the Buddhist journey and spiritual path. The I Ching Resource page is where you find recommendations for our top four I Ching Books and a YouTube video on the history of the I Ching (with a brief description for each of the 64 Hexagrams) and a straightforward, simple process for consulting the oracle.

A hundred scholars and a thousand yogis can say all they want to say about the nature of mind. But all can be summed up by this teaching of Jigme Lingpa. The mind should never be separated from loving kindness and compassion. Loving-kindness and compassion should never be separated from emptiness. And mindful awareness should never be separated from emptiness. These are the key teachings.
～Garchen Rinpoche
“As you wish to be happy, so you should wish others to be happy too. As you wish to be free from suffering, so you should wish that all beings may also be free from suffering. You should think, “May all living creatures find happiness and the cause of happiness. May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering. May they always have perfect happiness free from suffering. May they live in equanimity, without attachment or hatred but with love towards all without any discrimination.”
