I am Lama Milkweed L. Augustine Prof. Ph.D and have written many books and have served the church almost my entire existance. I was born on December 26, 1966 in Stoughton, Mass. I was born handicapped and catastrophically medically ill and because of this, I am now faced with a premature ending; terminal.
However I struggled lifelong with perplexities of the body and the fact of me being ripped fomr my family in 1973 and tortured, starved, and held in captivity for well voer seven years, but later became a powerful and humble leader in religion and in politics as I helped condemned inmates for 22 years and counting. I am a professor of Buddhism, as well as religious Theology, and was an embalmer. I have one book in the Holy Vatican, "THE MILKWEED PROPHESY; EPITAPH OF THE APOCALYPSE" published in 2006, and had been on the nominee list for the Pulitzer Prize in 2008.
I was twice recognized by the 14th Dalai Lama, and my name was placed on the WALL OF HOPE in Washington, D.C. and on the WALL OF TOLERANCE in Virginia for many years of silent humanitarian work, which won me personal and high acclaim in the church, especially in the Buddhist and Catholic faith, which I reside in both of them.
Receiving the title as Her Holiness form the Dalai Lama in 2001 at the age of thirty-four and The Most Venerable.
I won a wonderful award by the 'Writers Digest in 2008 for the title held in the Holy Vatican in Rome, THE MILKWEED PROPHESY. I taught at the Sakya Center in Cambridge, Mass and served as Professor, Rimpoche, but left due to embalming, as I was a medical monk. I assisted the International Campaign for Tibet for well over 14 years, and received many awards for my silent humanitarian work with the condemned inmates across the United States. Received awards from "DEATH PENALTY PROJEST" and recognition for the title 'THE ELECTRIC CHAIR; JOURNALS OF..."
My books have won me much acknowledgement in the realm of spirituality and religious introspection, as well as in the genre' of entertainment, as one of them was recently promoted for a movie; THE ELECTRIC CHAIR, which is a true story about my personal experiences with condemend inmates and in the tough and often abrupt realm of politics as I met many political icons who later I gained their respect.

Influences/Inspirations:
Many of my influences were from my mother Marguerite Augustine and the works of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My life in isolation was a great inspiration for my humanitarian work.
Favorite Writers and Artists:
I am an artist who created many wonderful thangkas, and some photos of them have been given to the Dalai Lama, as he has them in his residence in Dharmasala, India. In the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Middleboro, Massachustees, where I also attend mass and teach there, also holds a large cloth painting of the life of Christ which was a gift from me to the church itself and is revered as a "sacred" object. It is held in the Fr. Shea Center in Middleboro, Mass.
Current Projects:
Now I have worked on another book project called 'DYING AND LOVING IT." I never pursued it further, due to the fact of my failing health, and the prior publiaher, Jones Harvest Publishing Company, also in Indianna, has not fullfilled the promise it professes, which is to sell my books. "MY FATHER, MY NAZI" aand 'THE ELECTRICH CHAIR; JOURNALS OF H.H. THE MOST VEN. LAMA RIMPOCHE, MISS MILKWEED L. AUGUSTINE PH.D" was never sold. This above title, not yet publicated, waits to be as it is a beautiful
