I am a wife mother and grandmother. I have worked as a psychologist for decades. I have experienced and observed dukka. Because of my experience and observing dukka in others I was drawn to Buddhism. I first attended retreats run by the Friends of Western Buddhism then on to Theravada and later on to Tibetan Buddhism. In recent years I have joined some "modern buddhism' sanghas such as Dhamachanics and Open Sangha Foundation. I am a member of Dhammarato's sangha.
