Namaste. I am a Scot living in the Himalayas now and known as Nikita Didi. Jean bought the teaching to my ken and invited me to join. Everything happens for a reason and once I started to really know that anxiety and fear disappeared and my consciousness began to grow. Born in sixty three and Christened I have spent my life curious, lost and with know idea what religion I was or am part of. All is my conclusion. Once I had taken refugee in Buddhism it seems rather than confirm me as a Buddhist it has shown me a path to see my faults more clearly and grow in acceptance with an enriched awareness of how and who I am. I still have a very firey Scottish temperament as Jean can attest to, but I am far more in control. I voice my opinions to learn and am neither afraid to be wrong or challenge anyone. Its a beautiful Sunday morning here in giant mountains foothills. Love to all
