There are so many posts that are just "Fluff". This post of yours was quite the opposite. Thank you very much.
27 years ago I left the LDS/Mormon church that I had given 30 years of devotion to. it was quite a devastating experience since it had been the road map of my life. At the time I swore I'd never place a religion or a person between myself and "God". And I kept that commitment until 14 months ago, when I read Jack Kornfields "The Wise Heart". I discovered that the system of personal faith I had developed for myself over the years was very compatible with Buddhism. So I avidly adopted many of the practices. Buddhism filled out and completed my personal faith.
Actually, I'm going to attend my first Buddhist meditation group this coming Monday in hopes of finding a community of souls I can join with. I must tell you that my personal sense of Wholeness and my experience of Oneness has changed everything. One of my favorite "tools" has been mindfulness. One practice I had already developed was gratitude. So, yes, I am grateful for your post.
I was just thinking this morning of posting some elementary concepts regarding Buddhism and then voila here you are! I will follow you because I look forward to your posts. Many blessings.
Hey @mistermercury it's so nice to chat with you again. What you just shared warms my heart and you are living proof about the power of what I like to call Buddhist discoveries. I wholly urge you to find a meditation community to sit and study with. Here in NYC I align with Buddhist Insights and they do Facebook Live events of many of their retreats and are all free and operate on dana which means generosity. Be well and I am always here to share on your journey!
Good to hear from you. May you have a blessed day.
I think what you have to offer is really good. I want to see Steemit become a place where one can be lifted up. Perhaps, by our concerted effort we can make a difference. RESTEEMED.
Me too! Thanks my friend.
