I don’t think Buddhism teaching will be follow in United
State people, because many of us are trying to have a successful life, such as
reaching our goals, getting better jobs, and more money, basically its desires
for money maybe for other its fame and
power as well. The lifestyle that we have now is not possible to give up and follow
Buddhism belief, and those desires are selfish. Anyway I do agree with Buddhism
teaching because they have a strong moral teaching enlightenment, what I love Buddhism
is that they do meditation and get rid of any negative thoughts or energy and
focus on our mental health and mind, so
if anyone who practice Buddhism will have spiritually mind and not only think
about money or fame. It also helps them to open their inner selves.
It sounds like you do see a conflict between Buddhism and contemporary beliefs and practices in the U.S.!

ReplyDeleteThe spiritual aspect of Buddhism is very appealing and makes so much sense even in today's world. What I think I found challenging was the 'acceptance' of things just 'as is'. Now that alone am sure is comforting but I guess so used to a 'higher' cause direction etc. I do like your ideas on reducing negative thinking and focus on mental health - god knows that is needed !! Good post - thanks for sharing ! Paul
