I havent really studied under one.
I use Buddha's words,and meditate daily,and that works for me.
It is a shared philosophy,and all can have the same results.
I think Buddhism is about liberation,totally,in every way.
It may not seem liberating to call oneself a Buddhist,but just being one leads to liberation.
It hasnet went the way I assumed it would,it went better.
When I was young I wanted a way to beat the hell out of others,and now I see that Buddhism IS NOT about that at all.
I would take a bullet for any other human or life form,be them enemy or not,and thats not how I was.
It has opened many doors for me spiritually,and thats great!!!!
Thankz for all replies.
Peace:thumbsup:
