Hi! I’m Tasshin! I’m an extremely online pilgrim wandering this precious world for the benefit of all beings. ๐
I live a simple life, dedicating my life to being of service, supported by the generosity of others.
I have three main endeavors: spreading love, following my curiosity, and empowering others.
Love โค๏ธ
Loving kindness, or mettฤ, is a meditation technique where you intentionally cultivate positive, happy, loving thoughts and feelings: thoughts of good will towards yourself and others, and feelings of happiness, unconditional love, joy, and care. Loving kindness is relatively easy, extremely enjoyable โ even blissful โ and it can genuinely change your life.
I will be hosting an online daylong mettฤ retreat on Saturday March 4th, 2023. Find more information here.

Curiosity ๐
I explore my curiosity through my reading, writing, and conversations. It’s hard to know in advance where following my curiosity will lead me – but typically it ends up somewhere enjoyable, fascinating, and – I believe – beneficial for the world.

Empowerment ๐ช
I aspire to see and bring out the best in all beings. This involves perceiving who people are as accurately as I can; seeing the best in them; understanding their strengths, weaknesses, growth edges, service projects; and then taking actionable steps to empower them to serve others. This whole processโseeing someone deeply, and helping them to live their vowโis something I refer to as empowerment.
Licensing ๐ผ
I like to use Creative Commons as much as possible for my projects. I want to benefit as many people as possible, and Creative Commons is a wonderful vehicle for enabling that. You can learn more about the licensing for my writings and projects here.
Generosity ๐โโ๏ธ
Generosity makes my life and work possible. You can support my work through Patreon. Thank you! May this work benefit all beings. ๐

My Name
My name, Tasshin (้็) means to reach or achieve truth. You can pronounce it โtoss shinโ (thatโs the Americanized pronunciation) or โtoss sheenโ (the Japanese pronunciation). I received this name in 2018, when I took bodhisattva vows with my teachers Shinzen Young and Soryu Forall.
