I want to convert to Buddhism

by Luis Reambonanza

(Manila, Philippines)

I was born and raised a Catholic. When my parents died, my siblings who are all “devout” Catholics has been so greedy on sharing with me the properties and moneys our parents have left, supposedly, for all of us.

How can some people (more so my own family) claim to be good Christians, but when it comes to money matters, they become so greedy.

I grew-up following the teachings of our religion and a good Christian. I believe the Love begets Love, helping others beget being helped in times of need. I have been praying to Lord Jesus for blessings I ought to have, yet I feel Jesus is blind and deaf on my pleadings.

I always believe in the Law of Karma, yet I often wonder what bad Karma have I done to deserve my present condition?

Thank you for your comment.

So, you want to convert to Buddhism because you are not pleased with the way your family treated you, or Jesus did not reply to your prayers?

Anger is not a reason to go in Buddhism. If I misread you, I am sorry.

Buddhism is all the opposite of anger. You will want to gain peace within yourself and then with the outside world.

Good luck in your quest for peace.
