I knew people from another planet are here on Earth.
You just trade it for sleep and you're good to go!
We do not know that and we never will.
Even though I do not agree with my mind while I sleep, it is still good to get enough, imo.

Just another face in a sea of humanity, as far as anyone knows. 
Other than that, I'm interested in cultural art, bushcrafting, guitar (and music), religion, ancient history, machinations of the mind, science, technology, the great outdoors, and life in general. Somehow I manage to merge some of those things together in my own way.

Sorry, a line from a one-upon-a-time popular song...and at this point in my life, a million dollars would be plenty to finish out my life...
Buddha Dharma
Dharma Practitioner
I am a very traditional Buddhist, like you won't encounter too much outside of historically Buddhist countries. I believe in Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, deities, Mara, demons- pretty much the traditional cosmology.
I chant the mantras fully believing they are meritorious and salvific. I'm a universalist in the Lotus Sutra sense- that at the exact right time the Buddha will save all beings from suffering. Already now, he saves them under seemingly different ideologies and forms, but as the Lotus Sutra teaches- they're really all just the Buddha. I believe in the Devas, Kami, and some other pantheons- as Buddhists are typically polytheist in history. I believe the gods assist us in all kinds of ways also.
Esoteric Mahayana historically teaches a Dharma seal- which seals all Buddhists for better rebirths from the Buddha's merits. This sealing is done by the primordial Buddha manifestation, Vairocana. I believe that too.

I am...finally visiting Europe.
One could interpret that to mean that you intend to stay there until you die, but if one did that would be an assinine assumption on their part.
Come in a sinking wooden boat and scruffy clothes and you'll get in for free.

Don't think I haven't considered it (briefly not seriously). I could get out from under my school debts that way.
Prefer the current approach, where my work pays me to come here...
Nothing so extreme. 2 week working trip to Scandanavia.
