Going With Buddhism

Hello,or shall I say...Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo

I was dissatisfied with organized religion. Have been on a spiritual quest

my whole life.I am slow to open up and accept many things,especially religions.

Once I lost spirit at my last church,and slowly quit attending but unable to

attend a main stream church due to my more open bliefs. I wondered spiritually

for a time.It was Miss Jendar that planted the seeds of Buddhism in my mind...

But having my best friend,who's trans also,a member of the local Sokka Gakki

Nichiren Buddhist's,made my choice of trying this religion a lot easier.

From the first education class I attended they have shown interest,made a point

to call me,pick me up for a meeting or service.Now it hasn't been an(Oh this is

so cool I am joining right now)thing.For one,beyond the chanting(which I get a

lot from)the service is like nothing I have ever attended.And that took some time

to adjust to.Slowly I have opened up.Received my Gohonson and display box first.

Recently bought a good set of pink chanting beads and the rest of my alter accouterments.Now I am ready to make that commitment.It is time to really get into

this and see where Buddhism takes me.

Angie,

There are many paths to enlightenment and none is really any different as they lead to the same place.

Finding your path is the most important part - I hope that this fills the void that you have been feeling since leaving organized religions.

Peace is just a wonderful idea and I hope that you find contentment.

"Hope, Faith and Love and the greatest of these is Love."
