When I was a Christian, I hardly ever read the Bible... no more than a few passages a year. Never even finished Genesis when I tried to read the whole thing from start to finish.

I like to read a scripture and think it through, and ask myself what is it that I should learn from this scripture? Have I really gotten the complete meaning or is there more, so then I start researching and cross referencing, seeking other's interpretation to see if I can gain more insight. I have a great desire to learn, but with understanding as well.................

As a Buddhist, I don't have a Holy Book. I practice every day, and I often read from the Lotus sutra and other sutras, as well as other Buddhist treatises by more recent authors. I can't say that I read sutras every day, unless you are counting the recitations from daily service.

I don't usually spend time reading Tanach cover to cover, but I know that I peek inside at various and sundry passages almost daily.

Shinto doesn't have any Holy test so I don't read any, I do try to do a small prayer everyday in the morning and at night before I go to bad. And although not Holy text I do have a book called Teachings of the Buddha, I try to read a bit from the everyday.

I rarely feel a need to look at so-called "Holy" books. I certainly do not use them for reference of any kind, although they are amusing fairy tales to read. I much rather go inwards and perceive the real thing than bother with the tiresome words of the unenlightened.

Hi!
Baha'is are admonished (by our scriptures) to read them (at minimum) each morning and evening. Best regards, :-) Bruce
