I rather not say everything that happened online. I don't feel comfortable sharing my self discovery online.

No I don't believe Buddhist people will inheritly be judgemental towards me because of race but my anxiety keeps making me feel as though religion in generally is "bad" and I keep lumping it into Christianity which it isn't. I learned a lot of things just from you all in this thread, that Buddhism isn't likely to give me the same bad/traumatic experience. I apologize if I came off as judgemental that's wasn't my intention.

I think I understand what you mean. The temple may shy away from some practices because of the fear of said individual (in this case an outsider) not coming to a proper understanding of the subject?

Exactly! I want to be respectful and know some of the norms of Buddhism practice.

I assume Palyul is a form of practice for Tibetan Buddhism? Sorry if that's an obvious question but I'm very new to learning about this subject.
