practice Buddhism

The truth is I study Buddhism a whole lot more than I practice it. Which is ironic because one of the things that first attracted me about it was the strong focus on practice: “Practice and you’ll understand” is what the Buddha tells us (well, not with those words :D), not “Figure this one out, and come practice when you’re convinced.” Not that Buddhism isn’t supposed to be understood, but you’re not supposed to understand the big picture all at once, you just stick to a few obviously sensible precepts and work your way from there. But I’m so ridiculously intellect-obsessed, that I can’t bring myself to just do it. I’ve been reading about Buddhism and reading sutras for over five years, and I still don’t know what to answer when people ask me if I’m Buddhist! :P
