Religious background September 28, 2020

I think about how my experiences paved the way to the Dharma. I also can claim all of my previous religious experiences. As I have journeyed, I have come to feel that it isn't that I was this fixed thing called Christianity and now I am this other thing, Buddhist. As I have mentioned before, I felt welcomed when I heard a person say that you don't have to join anything, just start practicing. My Sangha is clearly the church I attend and serve in leadership roles. I know the language and rituals so I am able to be available to these people. My in-person Buddhist contact is very limited but very welcome. Most is self-study of reading and listening to Dharma talks.
