Hello dharma friends!
My name is Jake, or Jacob. I grew up in Portland, OR and have been studying or working in California since 2019. I am a Susan fan and friend and have taken my refuge vow under her guidance.
Tibetan Buddhism and meditation practice have implemented momentous changes and benefits to my life. When I began to become exposed to the teachings around high school, I realized they have closely reflected my own personal spiritual reflections from a young age. I am looking forward to this class as an opportunity to continue deepening my practice and compassion and awakening. I am looking forward as well to exploring speaking about and teaching the practice to others.
I would describe myself as a creative, adventurous, and thoughtful person by nature. Aside from meditating, I enjoy things like trail ultra running, rock climbing, surfing, books, writing stories and music, baking, and gardening. I care about subjects such as ecology, social justice and politics, history, sustainable agriculture systems, and literature.
Clearly I have trouble picking a lane.
I am 24.
I am excited to meet and learn with you all! I hope that directly or indirectly I will contribute some benefit to your practice and experience. Happy New Years and best wishes for your health, safety, and growth.
Jake
