Padmacandra

Padmacandra (Pippa Meek) first attended a retreat with Wolf at the Door many moons ago, led by Ananda and Manjusvara. She says "I felt suddenly at home: able to be myself and happily anonymous at the same time. For me poetry is a state of mind that I aspire to abide in. Poetry seems to come from being embodied in the world - open to the senses as if for the first time". Padmacandra's poems have been widely published in magazines and in 2002 she edited, with much help from others, The Heart as Origami, an anthology of contemporary Buddhist Poets (Rising Fire Press).
