More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

I prefer to live life as a vegan because it is more truthful to the human experience, more loving towards all living beings, better for health, better for the environment, more humble, more gourmet, more creative, more global, more resonant with a spiritual path, better for cultivating enlightening qualities, better for Karma, better for Dharma and more in rhythm with life.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

I have used HappyCow since about the year 2000 but only recently joined the community. I can now see that vegans have more in common with other vegans than with other groups because our minds are more aligned to the same level of realization.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:

USA and the reservations, Europe, Egypt, Thailand, India and Nepal.

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

Everything vegan. I had spent over ten years eating only vegan NOGO. NOGO means no garlic and no onion. This is the traditional way of eating amongst Hindus, Vaishnavas, Jains, Buddhists, Taoists, Confucianists and people with fire imbalances that rely on vegan medical herbalogy. Today I include warming herbs and spices because my metabolism has shifted after 16 years as a vegan and with 18 years with no meat in my diet.

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:

Books: "A Spiritual Renagade's Guide To A Good Life" by Lama Marut, "The Dhammapada" by Byrom a Shambala Pocket Classic, "The Bhagavad Gita" by Graham M. Schweig, "The Upanishads" by Eknath Easwaran, "The Flower Adornment Scripture" by Thomas Cleary and "The Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu.
