Question Posted Wednesday December 21 2005, 12:05 am
I don't know wheather i spelled buddhism correctly but i read your advice colum to the girl torn between being christian or buddhist. I was going to write an advise colum to her but i saw your and you said it all so i just wanted to say thank you. I accually found this web page looking for information about buddism, i too would like to become buddist but not totaly i still believe in some little things from other religions.I think i speek on behalf of not only myself but other people who are curious about buddhism.I am presently reserching. I do have to say i would have to be baptised or have a one on one forgiveness session with god before i became buddhist and went on my journey to reach nirvanna (i am not quite sure how to spell nirvanna)
Thank you and i wish you a great and peacefull life!!
I'm grateful for your comment :) Thanks so much :)
I'm not exactly sure what you are seeking, but buddhism in not an exact religion per say ... you can be Christian, Muslim and still have buddhist beliefs ...
I do belief however if your interests lies not in the self (ego) but elsewhere ..no matter what religion you are ..you'll find the answer to whatever may concern ya ...cause it's the selfishness that keeps us from being open minded ...
I'm not perfect, nor do I think anyone one else is, but what is life but not to make mistakes and learn from them right ...?
seems to me your either on your way or already on the path to greatness ....
Nirvana ... a lot seek it in the same way a lot of people seek god ...I can't say it from experience, but I do believe it's not all clounds, halos and soft and pretty, but more of an experience of one ness in the world ... like I said ..I'm human and am still striving for that ...I don't know about you,but still have anger, have great desire (whether it be guys, or what have you ...lol) ... and all that Buddhism and Christianity is all against ...but it's a path, not a goal ... just be who you are, do what you think is true in your heart (true, don't lie to yourself, as I and many of us have done lol) .... and slowly what ever you are seeking will come ... Nirvana is to come to terms with that nothing is permanent ... nothing ..not emotions, finance ... seasons ..but to be the best u can be, in every moment bad or good ... and hey it may be a life long experience ... i'm definately still working on it myself ... if ya wanna know let me kmow, I'll tell ya ;)
Anyways ... might have been a bit corny ... I don't know but if you want ...please e-mail me at aly_boschee@yahoo.com ... if you wanna chat or have any questions or just wanna talk about the latest thing going on ... :)
Once again ...thanks for the e-mail ..
hope to hear from ya
