Becoming a Buddhist


Gosh, okay guys. I've been listening to this introduction to meditation CD daily for the last 2 weeks or so. The CD goes over the 4 noble truths and does a meditation after each one. I really think Buddhism is something I'd really like to get into. What do you guys think about joining a monastery. They say to really do it you need a teacher...hmmm. They have Wednesday night meditations here.

I think shaving your head would be a bad look for you.

I think it's great you're exploring different beliefs! Here's the link to my mom's Buddhist church: http://www.iricc-ny.org/index.html

It explains their philosophies and whatnot -- hopefully you find it interesting

Thanks zowie, I checked outthe website. It looks like it has a lot to do with healthy eating. You'll have to tell me more about it sometime!! i cou;dn't get really good info from the site. It would be helpful to know what your mom does in her daily life or in church. Practical ways buddhism enhances her life...:) thanks homie!
