About Kyle Neo
(aka Dharma Kueen)
Welcome to the core of my Queer Heartstrings!
I’m Kyle — a queer Buddhist writer walking the path where ancient wisdom meets radical self-acceptance. My writing explores what it means to live fully, love deeply, and suffer honestly, all while holding space for joy, queerness, and the messy beauty of being human.
But there’s more than just Kyle.
Enter: Dharma Kueen, My spiritual persona, my alter ego, my glittering response to the sacred. Inspired by drag culture and the playful power of language, “Dharma Kueen” is a pun on “drama queen.” Swap the drama for dharma, and you’ve got a bold, queer reimagining of spiritual life — one that wears robes and rhinestones with equal grace.
Through essays, poetry, travelogues, and books I’ve written, I’m exploring Buddhist teachings not just as philosophy — but as lived, embodied, and fabulously queer experiences.
Dharma Kueen is not just a writing identity, but also a publishing platform dedicated to uplifting LGBTQ and queer Buddhist voices. Beyond my own essays and books, I support queer Buddhist writers in bringing their work to life through thoughtful editing, book design, and illustration. My aim is to ensure their stories are not only spiritually grounded, but beautifully presented and professionally published.
So whether you’re here for the wisdom, the wit, or the occasional sparkle of sass, welcome. This space is for you, and your story deserves to be heard, honored, and beautifully published.
With metta and glitter,
Dharma Kueen
