Although much of my philosophy is from the Buddhist tradition, I have love, compassion and respect for all religions and philosophical traditions. As Buddhism is a philosophical tradition rather than a religion, I consider philosophy and insight from all religions, cultures and belief systems. In a sense this is a journal of my own spiritual journey toward enlightenment: my meditation, my daily st
ruggles and most importantly of all my daily successes. Spirituality, wisdom and enlightenment exist independently of any religion and are compatible with all religions. Brahma Net Sutra
The vows of the bodhisattva:
Not to kill any living creature
Not to steal anything
Not to engage in any form of sexual misconduct
Not to lie or use false speech
Not to consume or distribute intoxicants
Not to discuss the faults and misdeeds that occur by any Buddhist
Not to praise oneself or disparage others
Not to be stingy or abusive towards those in need
Not to harbor anger or resentment or encourage others to be angry
Not to criticise or slander the Three Jewels
The Buddha nature does not care about your gender, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age or any other construct. Come just as you are and realize Enlightenment.
