i think it very much upsets me that the church went so far out of their way as to label Buddhism a 'religion' and therefore it is seen as such by just about everyone in the west. im glad you found it. i would highly recommend studying Tao and Hindu simultaneously, even if it is just grabbing a used copy of the Tao Te Ching and Bhagavad Gita: As It Is.... the three 'religions' are thus far the best way man has found to communicate the uncommunicable: how to Be.


buddhism is one of many ways to become fully human, to truly experience your existence in this particular material manifestation. may your journey be blessed.
