Am Stopping My Finger Now

Mark Winwood founded the Tibetan Buddhist study/practice group The Chenrezig Project in his living room in the quiet Central Florida hamlet of Yalaha in 2005. He did so following the first of several trips to Asia, specifically India and Nepal, during which he was introduced to the Tibetan practices. The ensuing years have been filled with deepening study and practice, and the sharing of the Dharma to a diverse collection of individuals consisting of the merely curious, those deeply experienced, and all in-between. Mark served as an adjunct professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the University of Central Florida system (Lake-Sumter State College) and is currently on the staff of the Hindu University of America, sharing Buddhist perspectives and philosophies with students pursuing advanced degrees in the Vedic studies. In Florida he shared specific applications of the Dharma with groups as diverse as high school students, diabetics and hospice nurses and volunteers. He currently lives and shares the Dharma in the Seattle area, both in-person at his home in Snohomish County and at public venues in and around the Redmond/Bellevue area. He also hosts a weekly online gathering. A one-time New York City newspaper publishing editor, executive and entrepreneur, he continues to "scratch the writing itch" with an internationally distributed weekly Buddhist-oriented newsletter. Am Stopping My Finger Now is his first book.
