Hello, my name is Eddie and Im 31, married and all that jazz...well the other day i was in a thrift shop in my home town and all of a sudden i caught in the corner of my eye a book. The book is a book of quotes from Buddha for everyday of the year. (i know its one of those kinda books but still) I have "avoided" Buddhism in the past because of false ideas about it...always i have been interested in Hinduism, similar things, but thought of Buddhism seldom. See...i was raised a Jehovahs Witness, and having left that group at the age of 23, I searched in the back of my mind for something spiritual that would work with my heart and my head..Christianity has never really done it for me. Ive tried a few things, and i had a basic knowledge of most religions. But buddhism was always something i felt wasnt for me. I was sooooo wrong. Anyway, long story short I have been reading alot, watching alot of youtube things on buddhism, and the more i find out about Buddhism the more i feel so good about things. I wanted to share this with you guys because maybe you had a similar awakening, or would like to help me with ideas on what to do now? From what I have gathered from reading, Buddhism isnt something that is used like other religions are used..its not something to use as a label, or a bragging point. But I feel so happy about finding this it really is touching. Ill stop ranting for now, but hopefully I can make friends here and also learn from everyone. Thanks for reading.
