Thoughts on Buddhism
Just a quick note. The trip to the Buddhist Center was good. I found the guided meditation quite comfortable, and moreover the lesson on anger was very appropriate and absorbed easily. I think I may be a sort of natural Buddhist, I tend to expect the best from people, deplore and wish to alleviate suffering and don't like to see any living thing harmed. The hardest thing for me would probably come naturally after more study, that is not eating meat of any kind. More on this later. I always will embrace Christianity but I believe that "there are more things in heaven and earth..." and wish to learn all that any philosophy can teach me about life, love and purposeful living,leaving the world a better place in some small way...I believe in Karma, too...and would love to believe in "Instant Karma" of which John Lennon sang!
Well, I am droopy, got to get my honey and cat cuddling before I wilt completely!
Love and peace...

it seems interesting. I am a Christian so I cant say that I believe in the Buddhist way of life but I do believe it is enlightening to those that are open to it.
