I am a Cuban-American wikipedian currently residing in Florida.

I am also a Mahayana Buddhist. My Buddhist refuge name is Abhayajñāna (Tibetan: Yeshe Jingme), which means "Fearless Wisdom."

My contributions are mainly in the field of Buddhist Studies, Asian History and Eastern philosophy. I find Buddhist thought fascinating and I've learned a lot from editing numerous wiki articles on various Eastern phil topics.

My knowledge of these fields is mainly self taught and I have no formal education in these particular subjects. I mostly studied Greco-Roman history and languages while receiving my B.A. in History from Florida International University and later began to study Eastern philosophy and Buddhist studies as an autodidact.

Please check out my YouTube channel where I discuss Buddhist philosophy. Also, check out my website which contains some of my writings.

This user has been editing Wikipedia for more than 15 years.

Other power

[edit]

Sanskrit precedents:

  1. Buddhānubhāva - This term refers to the "majesty", "authority, or "causal power" (anubhāva) of the Buddha which can influence others. In numerous Mahayana Sutras (e.g. Prajñaparamita sutra), the Buddha's disciples are often depicted as speaking or teaching "through the Buddha's power".
  2. Buddhādhiṣṭhāna - Refers to the "sustaining power" or "supporting force" (ādhiṣṭhāna) of the Buddha, often associated with his ability to inspire or bless beings.
  3. Buddha-bala - This term literally means "the strength of the Buddha," where *bala* refers to the Buddha's strength or power, or more specifically, to special supranormal powers the Buddha has which he uses to perform miracles.
  4. Buddhāvabhāsa - Meaning the "radiance" or "light" of the Buddha, this term is sometimes used to signify his illuminating power or his wisdom (which in various Mahayana sources, like the Avatamsaka Sutra, is said to be all pervasive).

I rejoice in your endless contributions to putting Buddhism on the map on Wikipedia! Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 18:23, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


The Oddball Barnstar
I remember looking at the article on Buddhism and science a few years back and thinking, "This needs a ton of work." Well, you sure did a lot! I think you thoroughly deserve this barnstar. (And please consider the term "Oddball" a compliment! ... I am fascinated by Buddhism too.) Hopefully I can contribute to improving the article in the future too.
