What makes you feel that way?
I think there are many very different ways to approach experiencing it. If my first experience was at a temple in my local area I would very much be turned away….
Honestly my favorite thing I received was delivery from a local vegan restaurant, it was junk foodie but very yummy. You want junk food when you’re struggling :)
Chinese tomato and eggs are good
Japanese curry
Thai Tom yum soup
All super easy to make and yummy
I’m sure the Thai, Myanmar, and Sri Lankan things are still going on but bad people of a religion doesn’t equal said religion. Unless you’re an atheist in the west than that equals all of said religion.
Yes it is surprising but people are of their circumstances
What I personally enjoying is more mental so I’ll be okay unless I lose my mind
Could you explain further
That’s kind of you to say but there are certainly plenty of problematic Buddhist groups, like any social group.
What about you?
You could live until 100 if you take care. You can still eat what you want in moderation.
Buddhist, I was more Christian. Growing up in a fundamentalist church and becoming more intellectual drove me to ask big question that Christianity didn’t answer for me. Causes and conditions allowed me to encounter Buddhism when I was living in Japan and it’s grown in me ever since. I really liked how Zen meditation made me feel. Very different from being told to pray but there was nothing and also no unstructured. Buddhism has clear practices and results. I know it has “supernatural” elements but it’s all mostly logical to me and I like that
I didn’t follow but thanks for being kind and explaining
So quirky!
