I think truth is seen very different from different p.o.w. Exampl for me as buddhist truth is in how to end all suffering in my life. and result of the search is enlightenmentThe 'truth' is so elusive, I have no idea what it actually is.
for me end the reincarnation cycle and enter nirvana.What are you seekers going to do with
"truth" once you have found it?

others have other reasons to seek truth
Yes that i agree about, but so far i have no reason to doubt it being real. but i understand not all can or want to believe in reincarnation and nirvana.Good enough, provided that stuff is real.

Well, I dont decide what to believe, still less on on
what I want. Do you?
You truly have no (0) reason to think just maybe maybe
reincarnation etc is all just a chimera?
Seriously?
ETA, it does seem the
baptists, the LDS, the 911 boys,
and lo many another is also real sure of
their truth and what is their destiny.
Do you think some of them could use / have
used a bit of "stop and think"?
I think about the teaching every day and i do not find a reason reincarnation is wrong, but if you do not think reincarnation is real that is fine too. Buddhism is a personal belief for me. i do not want to push it on others.

Ever find a reason that it is right? I have
thought about it, wondered, but there seems
to be no actual information one way or the other.
It may be that just thinking every day does
no more than circle around and reinforce.
No fresh look that way.
If your faith is personal, why to you keep posting
about it? Seems a bit like promoting.
Dont answer if it is uncomfortable, but, I am curious
about the "want to believe" thing, which is why
I asked.
No i have no doubt it is correct.really not a single reason??

well if i can not write answer out from who i am, then i can just log off and not come back, because buddhism is my life, its the reason i live. to find answer.
Buddhism is not only thinking, but acting and speaking according to the teaching, and ofcourse meditation.
for me i am past the wanting to believe, i have no doubt about the teaching and no doubt in buddha.
I hear this so often, truth found from within, it sound like a cliche. What do you mean by within?
External experiences such as cultures, family, outwide side knowledge, etc are considered truths depending on the person. Going to work is a truth that you are productive and living and grateful. Playing video games can show you truth in the manner of how you see things. Are you stiff? Flexible? Do you have enemies?
Truth doesnt need to be meditational. When someone harms you, how do you physically react to that? Is it (behavior not mental) benefitial to your wellbeing?
What about your goals? Destination vs journey is a cliche. Truth, to me, is who you are. Destination, to me, is how you use that truth to be productive to who you are and want to be.
From within? I see that by perspective. To me, from within is self development. Our external, physical, mental, and all around experiences with yourself, others, and our environment are all puzzles that build up our wellbeing.
The word truth may throw people off. Purpose does too. God. Religion. Spirit.
I would ask:
Who are you?
What are you?
What is important (not important) to you?
What are your goals (keep it at that)? Doesnt need to be a bucket list or cosmic goals.
Truth is individual.

Who are you?
What are you?
What is/isnt important to you?
If asked correctly, you may find people will not answer or be vague. It's usually personal. But good question nonetheless.
