About Me

Julius-Kei Kato
I try my best to practice the Buddhist principle (through Thich Nhat Hanh) that to treasure life's every moment in mindfulness is the key to profound happiness. Here's my effort to be mindful of life's every "ippo" (step). I'm a proud hybrid (Filipino-Japanese-Canadian). Grew up in Manila. Lived for periods of time in Tokyo, Rome, Jerusalem, Berkeley (California). I now live in Ontario. For a long time, I was an insider to organized religion. Now I keep some distance but continue to acknowledge organized religion's value. I believe more emphasis should be placed on a spirituality that fosters life, love, compassion, justice & peace, sustainability. I teach Religious Studies to undergraduates.
