We’re your Tranquil Mind guides. You are you own teacher. 

I was raised a bit unmoored in the religious and spiritual world. I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy growing up, so no shortage of ideas and fantasies about what is going on and who’s running the show. But I loved to work with computers and technology, and didn’t find much interest in such topics at that time of my life.

There has always been a sense of something, though; while “maturity” took its toll, I never lost the memory of a few rare occasions where, as a child, I was . . . just happy. Then one day, thanks to Huston Smith’s kind and clear description of the Buddha, and other religious figures, in his book The World’s Religions, English translations of the Suttas, I found myself catapulted into this meditation party. The joy was enough to send me searching for what would eventually lead me to simply Google “who teaches from the original suttas” and then to the fine works of Mr. Doug Kraft.
