How do you live out your Buddhism?

[von bek]

Another example, this one of prison outreach ministries. There are many such Buddhist organizations doing this type of work. I just chose one from my city as a representative.

Living out Buddhism is no different or special than what your living out right now. The "difference" has to do with realisation that naturally crops up as one engages his/her Buddhist practice. I guess you could say living out Buddhism is life being revealed during it's course. My personal experiences living out Buddhism is understanding the nature of the monkey in facing facets and nuances life provides every givin moment you breathe in and exhale.

Thirza,
If you are sufficiently interested I'd recommend a little book called What Makes You Not A Buddhist by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse.

I don't know how you "spot" a Buddhist. Unless you catch me sitting zazen I look and sound almost normal.

Thanks!!

Compassion for all sentient beings.

I find the term Christian Buddhist to be confusing.

And that makes two of us.

Not really a LOT more I can add ...

I meditate on compassion for all beings.

I read books such as "The Lost Art of Compassion" & "When Things fall apart".

And I enjoy websites such as this -

Buddhism in a Nutshell - Peter Morrell

Hope that gives you a glimpse ...

Namaste

Forgot one thing - I am a vegetarian too!

Toodles!

One is a Buddhist if one accepts as true the Four Seals. I'm not sure this designation would be apparent to an observer of said Buddhist.
