Hi, I’m Michael — the person behind this site.

I practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and the Dhammapada has been part of my own daily reading for years — short verses I keep coming back to, in different moods and different seasons of practice.

I built My Buddha Journal because I wanted an easier way to sit with a verse each day and actually keep a record of what it brought up — a small daily practice of mindful writing, instead of losing those reflections in a paper notebook or a scattered notes app.

This is the first version. The page and the app's overall shape are just a starting point, and I'll be building on both as the daily practice grows.
