      @SubhamChitrakar It's good that you have realised that Buddhist teachings are compatible with Islam. Both philosophies help us to live a good life. They don't compete with each other in any way. I am an atheist. Buddhist teachings have helped me to become a more contented and therefore happy person. I hope they do as much for you. Best wishes

    I have written 5 quotes of buddha every alternate days & tried to read on alternate days... In just 5 months it's already a diary full of my writings & his quotes... When i feel low i read it & it helped me a lot to become a better & kinder person.. More forgiving person. I am calmer & i got clarity in certain things. Thank you so much.. Your channel also helped me to be a better person.. Still in the processs. Namo Buddhaya 🙏

    I read Huston Smiths Religions of Man at 19, started a lifelong journey into the many beautiful ways cultures celebrate God. I went to Powwow as a kid and later Quest and Sweat Lodge from my own culture. Then I went to Thich Nhat Hanhs Plum village in my 20s, visited Catholic cathedrals, and drove the El Camino Real down the 101 to visit the Spanish missions. Sound baths and gong ceremonies in Poland, temples in Bali, Pyramids in Egypt. I enjoy yoga, and now I sit Vipassana regularly. It’s the inner journey when we face ourselves that brings us lasting peace. 🧘🏼‍♀️ May all beings be happy.

    I have a 1994 edition of a English-Japanese copy of "The Teaching of Buddha" by Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai. It was my doorway as a young teenager in America. I found Zen to be the best practice for me, but it is amoral and always leads back around to Sunyata, which capitalism tells us "void = bad". In my 30's I discovered the Upanishads, which led to the Bhagavad Gita.
    Now, I find that practicing Krishnaconsciousness is a form a personal meditation that leaves room for spirituality, and that loving God as myself leads to loving others as myself, as well. We are all self, we are all One. "Sub ek." Spirituality isn't totally essential, but it really boosts compassion when you practice it.

      @@TheRealFamespear I can see it used similar to Biblical canon. I first picked it up at a Vietnamese Buddhist temple in Biloxi, Mississippi some 20 years ago. I carried it around with just a chindi rug for meditation until society reminded me that only monks are allowed to completely exit, and that the Middle Way was opposite to the direction I was facing. (In other words, poop or get off the pot, lol. Something the Bhagavad Gita helped me to reconcile with that the Buddhist canon prevaricated around.)
