    Addopting Buddhism as a life path
    Raised catholic but turned agnostic on my teens... its been a long road and for quite some time I have been fascinated by the teachings and philosophies of Tibetan Buddhism...

    The changes you have to adopt to fully follow the path are harsh and in some ways unnatural... some things are quite scary to restrict oneself from.

    Anyone with some experience in this religion?

    Any advice?

        Don’t give up on the Catholic faith.
        Work it
        Go to mass even if you don’t want to
        Gotta work at any religion
        Jesus is the reason for the season
        Hope you find peace

                A Buddhist would not care to gamble, would they?

                  De attachment from the joy or suffering derived is the goal

                  Whatever the activity may be

                  There is dukkha. Dukkha should be understood. Dukkha has been understood.


                  There is a fading and cessation of dukkha. The Truth must be penetrated by realising this cessation of dukkha. This Truth has been penetrated by realising the cessation of dukkha.

                    Yeah basically avoiding becoming anything similar to you on my old age. 1st step good, I have hair.

                    But... in order to be so shallow and square id need to break my skull or some sshit like that... I am blessed by my 142 IQ... but been doomed by lack of emotional control and intelligence.

                    It is through Buddhism how I tackle my main weakness.

                    This can only make me better at everything, by simply being and not wanting.

                        So you attain dukkha by being a losing gambler?

                                      This place is seriously toxic for your path. Most, nor all, are complete jerkoffs.

                                        Good Luck

                                        It is hard to shake-off Catholicism -- You'll feel guilty about abandoning Jesus

                                              Too painful to fess up and ask for absolution ?

                                                    Don't let the negativity get you down. I'm not Buddhist (I'm not religious at all), but I've had positive experiences with mediation. IMO, it's most helpful with learning to have empathy with others, including and especially those who are negative to you.

                                                    Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone posting in and reading this thread.

                                                              Catholic church is KIDNAPPED by pederasts, fakes and satanic deviants.

                                                              Catholic philosophy is good in principle but not in action, and it doesnt seem to have a chance at changing because people are too blind to admit their religious leaders are impostors.

                                                              PASS.

                                                              I left the faith after a priest said some sexual innuendos to me during confession. Never came back to church again. I do draw a line at been talked dirty by dirty old disgusting old men (JJ this goes for you as well).

                                                              If you are catholic and you are fulfilled my best to you. Catholicism is lost for me.

                                                              Oh, and fukk muslims!
