explore Buddhism

I’ve completed this goal to my satisfaction. It was a great goal and I enjoyed exploring it. It’s time now to focus on another Eastern religion. I just have to decide which one.

I’m still reading on this and I have tickets to see the Dahli Llama speak in April. I’ve learned alot but I know that being that I don’t fully understand the religion I was raised on I can’t expect to understand another without studying it for years or longer.

I haven’t done anything on this goal in months and I really want too. I will look at the library this week. It will be fun.

Plan to make it to the library sometime this week to look for more info.

exploring Buddahism but because it’s so large I’m interested in looking more into Tibetan Buddahism.

Though I haven’t had time to study more on this religion because I’m so busy, I’ve noticed that I think about things I’ve learned and have incorporated them into my life. I notice that even when I’m busy and my head starts spinning, what I’ve learned about Buddhism helps me to relax and helps to take me off of “auto pilot” and to focus.

incorporating some of this into my life. My favorite at the moment is mindfulness. I use the word almost everyday as in “I will be mindfull of…” I never realized how unmindful of how much I was. It’s like looking at a black and white tv next to a color tv.

and enjoying. I’m loving learning about this religion. I can identify with it in so many ways. I think the practices of this religion would be great for anyone whom suffers from anxieties. I think some of the practices would be great for everyone. It makes me think of stretching and exercising for the mind.

Still learning and understanding. When I say I’m understanding I mean that I’m understanding the words and text I’m reading. I have a way to go if ever I’d understand this religion. It opens up lots of pondering to do. That’s a good thing. I now understand what it means to be agnostic, which always confused me. I what I am learning is that many things that confused me are simply…..confusing….to everyone.

Learning more on the subject of Buddhism and loving it. I take water-drinking breaks throughout the day (in place of smoking breaks – I quit a couple months ago) at which time I let myself cruise the internet on the subject. I think this is a healthier habit and fun too.
