With Buddhism, I appreciate the 8-fold path, but not the complicated tenets. For years I attended a Tibetan Buddhist Temple called Ningma and I didn’t have a clue about what the prayer wheels meant, but I liked the sound. I found that the dharma talk calmed me more than a sermon. The Jewish religion is foreign to me, but I like Mysticism and mystical experiences associated with Kabbalah and the Torah contains many stories of mystical experiences. There are all sorts of places that reek of spirituality in a non-traditional way. I don’t have to fly 10,000 miles to Tibet or Bali or India, if my own yoga mat and meditation cushion are just in the other room. I’m grateful that I reached a point in my life where I trust my inner temple.
