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

I am also a Mahayana Buddhist. My Buddhist refuge name is Abhayajñāna (Tibetan: Yeshe Jingme), which means "Fearless Wisdom."

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 on my own.

Please check out my YouTube channel where I discuss Buddhist philosophy.

Also, check out my website which contains some of my writings.
