A hanging scroll (kakejiku) that I own of the thirteen Buddhas (Jūsanbutsu), Japan, modern era

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

I am also a Mahayana Buddhist. My Buddhist refuge name is Abhayajñāna (originally given in Tibetan as Yeshe Jingme), which means "Fearless Wisdom" (Ch: 無畏智 Wúwèi zhì, Jp.: Muichi).

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.

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.
