| [quote:post_uid0="I*Ride*A*Little*Bike"]I myself don't follow a set religion, I would like to say Im Buddhist as well, but its tough to completely follow it, you can have the mindset, I do somewhat. But can you really consider yourself a Buddhist in the world were living in right now? I mean typing about your creedence involving a possession-less faith on a keyboard is somewhat of a contradiction as well, right?[/quote:post_uid0]
There's a difference between a lay Buddhist and a Buddhist monk. Even a Buddhist monk, though, is allowed some possessions.
It's not necessarily about having possessions, it's about placing value in them.
Meditation is important in practicing Buddhism because it helps to understand and live, but just understanding the religion is helpful too. |
