Todd Cornell 康鸿熹 grew up in Colorado and spent over twenty years living inside Chinese culture — in Harbin, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, and more. He speaks fluent Mandarin, French, and studied Chinese and Mongolian Language and Literature at Inner Mongolia University.

The languages, cultures, and philosophies of China have been his life's work and greatest fascination. Today from Panamá City, he helps non-native and heritage speakers improve their Mandarin pronunciation — teaching through feeling and practice, not memorization.

He is the author of The Four Seasons of Rascal: The Dog from Harbin (June 15, 2026), Mapping Mandarin: Pinyin and the Art of Tones, The Heart of China, and El Corazón de China.

“But most of all, it's about the dog who always knew where home was.”
Todd Cornell, The Four Seasons of Rascal: The Dog From Harbin.

“But most of all, it's about the dog who always knew where home was.”
Todd Cornell, The Four Seasons of Rascal: The Dog From Harbin.

“Once again, we are reminded that awakening, or enlightenment is not the property of Buddhism, any more than Truth is the property of Christianity. Neither the Buddha nor the Christ belongs exclusively to the communities that were founded in their names. They belong to all people of goodwill, all who are attentive to the secret which lives in the depths of their breath and their consciousness. (14)”
Jean-Yves Leloup, Compassion and Meditation: The Spiritual Dynamic between Buddhism and Christianity

“If you are a Buddhist, inspire yourself by thinking of the bodhisattva. If you are a Christian, think of the Christ, who came not to be served by others but to serve them in joy, in peace, and in generosity. For these things, these are not mere words, but acts, which go all the way, right up to their last breath. Even their death is a gift, and resurrection is born from this kind of death. (157)”
Jean-Yves Leloup, Compassion and Meditation: The Spiritual Dynamic between Buddhism and Christianity

“The greatest wisdom is in simplicity. Love, respect, tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It's not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It's encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find your heart, and you will find your way.”
Carlos Barrios, Mayan elder and Ajq'ij of the Eagle Clan

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch
