:3 I was brought up as a Buddhist by my father, but I haven't been to a puja or meditated properly in years. So I suppose you could say I'm not a practicing Buddhist, but I try to follow the teachings and principals in everyday life.

ok. I am a Catholic. I believe that jesus was God manifested inhuman form on Earth, but i also believe in the Budda's teachings of kindness, humility, empathy and compassion and use Buddhist meditation in my daily life. i am teh reed that doesn't know he could not exist without the pond. nature and kindness...my body after death will feed the earth and insects and so i will continue. i just want to know am i alone? damn, but that dalai Lama can write and make death not scary. I'm not scared to die for so many reasons and believe death is the Real Deal after it all...
read the buddah's teachings and then compare that with what Jesus taught when he returned after 18 years of absence...they are strikingly similar...makes you wonder what Jesus was really doing during those years...
