Leftimies
Dwelling in the Principle
I do have to admit it, I kinda feel like a sellout: I have moved from Confucianism to Zazen Buddhism and plan to remain there. Only problem is that something in my head tells me that its cheap to change, but then again, after learning about all the things related to Buddhism over the course of past few months...for me to not follow what my heart deems as truth would be stupid.
I dunno, I probably wouldn't need to rant about it, but it somehow strangely seems like appropriate thing to do. Its a "Member Announcement" after all. I suppose Confucianism was a brigde between my Judeo-Christian upbringing and the Asian wisdom I personally am drawn towards to, as Confucianism shares quite a bunch of concepts with Abrahamic religions, with obviously some key differences as well. Until this day, it has been hard for me to defeat my anti-Dharmic upbringing, but I think I have to take control over my own spirituality. Its about time to embrace who I really am: the one bright pearl.
After doing zazen over the course of few past months, a whole new world has opened up to me. Buddhism indeed turned out to be quite deep religion, and the only one that can deliver a profound answer to all my questions. Reading Shobogenzo has been a truly rewarding experience, a great piece indeed.
That being said, I should hurry to change certain infos on my profile page And, to join a Zazen community officially when i get free time. See ya folks, stay precious!
