Hey Dirk,

We are in a similar boat. Treeleaf is a wonderful Sangha, and I feel honoured to be a member. Like you, I once frequented e-sangha, not knowing which tradition to settle into; practicing ‘mishmash’ Buddhism trying get a feel for what each tradition was all about, and which one felt most like home. But I grew frustrated with the mishmash of e-sangha, and the constant bickering over differences in opinion between one tradition and the next. Luckily my interests in Zen developed keen enough to lead me to Jundo and Treeleaf. There is a certain sense of community here that is unusual to see for a web forum. And despite how modest everyone is around here, there is a lot that can be learned from this crowd by a couple newbies like us.

Anyways, hello from Ontario next-door (kinda),
Cheers,
Kelly

And that is the book Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency!!!! My wife picked up back when we were dating for a bit of a joke. Well at least i didnt remind you all of Boogie Nights :/ thats one i get a lot. When i was first dating Carrie, her brother told their mom my last name was Diggler - and up until we had the wedding invites printed she never knew otherwise.
