Every reflection here describes one person’s experience. It is shared for connection and context—not as a promise that anyone else will have the same outcome. We identify the kind of Practical Buddha experience beside every story.

Stories from the path

What people have shared.

These stories are presented in full, with the context that helps each reader understand where the reflection began.

David A. Washabaugh

Direct coaching with Tommy

“A life-changing path”

“I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how your coaching has created a life changing path for me. The path is the key—with your loving, very effective and systematic methods the path is now clear.

I am now aware what my purpose is. And awareness has allowed me to use my brain as a tool instead of a tape player, playing the same old tune over and over.

My work and life is now peaceful, meaningful and joyful.

Many blessings.”

David A. WashabaughDelray Beach, Florida

David’s reflection describes his individual direct-coaching experience with Tommy.

Cyndi Auerbach

Written story

“I came upon Tommy by luck. I was looking for a Meditation group. I called Tommy’s number and he immediately called me back. I was pleasantly surprised when not only did I get the information I needed, but his concern about the bad time I was going through. Tommy’s Spiritual guidance helped me so much. His warmth and caring compassion is amazing. He truly is a person who truly cares in helping.

The two times I spoke to Tommy on the phone was a tremendous help. I would recommend Tommy for Spiritual guidance and help looking into yourself. I am excited to continue with the Spiritual guidance with Tommy. I can imagine how great my life and the way I handle it could be with by signing up for extended sessions with him.”

David B.

Written story

“I started working with Tom back in early 2016. A difficult situation at work had left me dejected, confused, and angry. I couldn’t stop playing it over in my head. Tom showed me how my mind works, and helped me replace my anger with joy. I can’t put a dollar figure on what Tom’s help has meant for me, and for the breakthroughs that happened afterwards in my professional life. Thank you.”

Stories deserve to be told carefully.

Every reflection begins with the person’s own words. We preserve useful context about the kind of experience they are describing, and we keep the person’s name, image choice, and published story connected.
