Γεννήθηκα στην Αθήνα το 1968. Σπούδασα Ιατρική στο Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών με μεγάλη λαχτάρα και την εξασκώ με την ίδια αγάπη μέχρι σήμερα. Με νύχια ακόμα απαλά άρχισα να ξύνω τη λογοτεχνία από όλες τις πλευρές της, διαβάζοντας και γράφοντας. Αργότερα, σε μια δύσκολη εποχή της ζωής μου, τη χρησιμοποίησα σαν δεκανίκι. Αποδείχτηκε πολύ γερό, αντέχοντας όλο μου το βάρος και βγάζοντάς με απέναντι. Την εποχή εκείνη άρχισα να γράφω το ιστολόγιο Liquid days, που μου έδωσε την ευκαι...

So what’s the difference between natural and artificial selection? Whether the difference in reproductive success is driven by naturally occurring processes, or whether the selection is imposed by humans. Does this mean humans aren’t natural? Well, if you look at the common expression honestly speaking, saying those words appears that whatever just said (before those words) wasn't completely true. Life in the 1930’s and 70’s set in a hi-desert and mountains where it’s be...
Enchanting, powerful, horrific, beautiful, wise, deadly, compassionate, seductive. Women in Buddhist story and image are all these things and more. She takes the signs of the ancient goddess – the lotus, the sacred grove, the serpent, the sacrifice – and uses them in astonishing new ways. Her story is one of suffering and great trials, and through it all an unquenchable longing to be free. This beautifully illustrated work is as layered and subversive as mythology itself...
The Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta is the most influential scripture in Buddhist meditation. It is the foundation text for the modern schools of ‘vipassanā’ or ‘insight’ meditation.

This is the first full-scale study to encompass all extant versions of the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, taking into account the dynamic evolution of the Buddhist scriptures and the broader Indian meditativ...

This book collects virtually all the significant passages on this topic that are found in the early discourses, carefully elucidated for the modern reader.
Although historically marginalized, Buddhist nuns are taking their place in modern Buddhism. Like the monks, Buddhist nuns live by an ancient system of monastic law, the Vinaya. This work investigates various areas of uncertainty and controversy in how the Vinaya is to be understood and applied today.
