| Introduction | Well...I'm Erik Jampa. I'm a Nyingma-pa currently living in Boston, MA attending The Boston Conservatory as a Musical Theatre major. I'm an eclectic, eccentric, unpredictable yogi with a huge variety of interests. I love The Dharma, first and foremost. Over the past year, I have come to realize that it's the most important part of my life. My precious Lama, the teachings, the Buddhas of the past, and my incredible Sangha (community) have given me so much and really formed me into what I am today. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Now, being a musical theatre major, I do love performing. I love expressing myself and creating art. I'm in transition currently, however, and getting ready to transfer to Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. I love the outdoors, though winter is certainly not my season of choice. I love to hike and sail, especially in the gorgeous mountains of Colorado. I think Religion is the single most interesting subject in the world. I am in absolute awe of the power of faith in this world, and find religion to be a passion of mine. |
