I know Cobralily is!My godmother is actually friends with the Dali Lama. I swear, she is magic.They actually email frequently!
I was raised Jewish, but I started studying Mahayana Buddhism as a teenager and still do to this day.
I am!I'm a born Buddhist. That's how it started My college teacher said that the Buddhism most South East Asian Chinese practice nowadays is actually intertwined with Confucianism tho (given how we pray for our ancestors with joss sticks and joss papers), and that real Buddhists are vegetarians. I don't really know anymore. My ID card says I'm a Buddhist, as do my parents' and grandparents' ID card says they are.

That is very interesting ! What made you get so interested in it?I was always interested in the world's religions and schools of thought because of my grandfather, who had a whole library of books about everything from Kabbalah to Wicca. I always identified with Buddhist principles, and then I read the book The Jew in the Lotus which details the convergence of thought between Judaism and Buddhism. It was quite an eye opening read.(edit because I messed up book title)
i am by choice i was not raised very regilious so i could decide on my own what i wanna be after some travels to thailand, cambodia, malaysia, taiwan and hong kong + some books about buddhism i decided that it would be the right religion for me.
We all stand by our own things, but I honestly thing that in the end, everything links up to the same thing
