how will you help me become a lay dedicated person then? i wanted to be a nun but i have children.the buddhists quotes that i read is a well spring that sustains and helps me quite my mind and believe the truth of impermanence….everything has its beginning and has its end..this is a consolation for me.

I’m not sure I can help you much but I can advise you to choose a temple and start get volunteering at the temple. By being part of that community, you will certainly feel a sense of belonging and a sense of accomplishment.

Gratitude,

right now, i am here in Africa working as a nurse. i have not found any buddhist temple here where you want me to visit because this is an islamic community…. each time i visit the “japanese buddhism” blog, to read and study the principles of buddhism…buddhist practise and the like, this is as if i am entering the door of a buddhist temple.;this is why i would like to read anything about how to live a buddhist’s life, because it gives me a renewed spirit.; where can i find more readings? thank you.

Shally, thank you for your comment. I would recommend you to go to the bookstore section of the site (top right corner of the site) to get some book suggestions.

Also register to the mailing list if you have not done so already. (right side of the page)

I will add more information here as time goes and I will make sure to include it in my newsletter.

Thank you!

Raised catholic went to Catholic grammar school and College, I would like a more private personal approach to peacefuless.

I believe that(I didn’t say this first):

“The purpose of life is to help others get through it.”
