Doug Robnett

Doug Robnett has a dual degree in philosophy and education from University of Colorado.He taught social students for 16 years before moving to school administration. He is currently an assistant principal of Spokane Virtual and Blended Learning. Though he has always had an interest in religions and spiritual disciplines, Robnett started to practice and study Buddhism in a focused way 25 years ago when my his then 2-year-old started asking the kinds of questions that launch all good spiritual voyages: "Why are we here?," "How do we know life is not a dream and our dreams are not our life?," and on and on. His personal tradition has become connected with the Thai Forest tradition and it seems to be a family project as that same son is now a Buddhist monk in Thailand.
