Six weeks sans phone or screens, the ticking of the odometer the only clock. Dharma Wheels is a love letter to the art of motorcycling.

A lot of people wonder how happiness and material things go together. Studies have shown time and time and again that having a lot of personal possessions doesn't actually mean having more happiness.

Great Brahmas. Two of this realm’s more famous inhabitants are the Great Brahma, a deity whose delusion leads him to regard himself as the all-powerful, all-seeing supposedly creator of the universe (see Digha Nikaya 11), and Brahma Sahampati, who begs the Buddha to teach Dhamma to the world.

Mind-bending nondualism fiction that speaks the unspeakable. The original sin is Freudian in this modern version of ancient creation legends.

Driven from paradise by an unspeakable act, she must face her demons—who happen to be philosophers. They vie for her feelings with pleasure, art, and sacrifice, inevitably leading to an existential showdown.
