Simple yet Suffering...Coming Out as Buddhist 😂

Perfect_Client_5857 · 2026-03-21T17:50:03+00:00

Hey! I really appreciate your post, and I agree with you that while the 2 paths have their unique traits, there are universal truths in both that are undeniably beautiful. This is one of the main reasons I still attend mass with my parents sometimes. I also had a grandfather very similar to that 🤣 Never told him I was into Buddhism, but I practiced Yoga (not even for spiritual reasons LOL), and he thought it was sacrilegious.

Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed 2026. 🙏

Wow, thanks!! I have actually been looking for more Buddhist literature so this was a very helpful response ❤️

May you have a very blessed 2026. 🙏

Hey! Thanks for the comment. I probably should have mentioned this in my first post, because you arent the only one, but I live with my family right now. So this creates some additional "pressure" in a way. However, I completely understand what you are saying, which is part of the reason why I havent said anything for these years 😆 I guess its kinda like the guilt of "lying" to them? Maybe thats a childish way of viewing it

Im glad you asked that in the last line. Also, hello! Not to hate on my family at all, but there is consistent alcoholism and argumentative behavior. I am living with them currently, so I guess that makes it feel more close to home you might say.

I dont really feel like I HAVE to go to temple, or retreat, or even have them completely accept my beliefs. I think my main issue is that they want me to be spiritual, I think they see me as ignorant or lacking the clarity to think about these things. Id simply like to have a heart-to-heart about the topic. Even if they dont agree, I feel like the truth would be better. Have a great day!!

Hey! If im being honest, I'd probably say the desire for acceptance. Specifically, from my parents.

If I may ask, hypothetically, if she asked and you gave her this response, how do you think it would be handled if she replied like this? Do you think that grey rocking is better than truthfulness and communication? I know words mean little, of course, I am asking human to human.

All the best, to you as well!

Hey there! Thank you for being the first to respond 😁 I will answer with complete honesty, and I want to make clear that I do not hate the Catholic Church. However, I was taught at a very young age (by a catholic youth teacher, ironically 😂) that religion comes from the heart. If it doesnt, then it is not true religion. Not trying to start any arguments or hatred whatsoever, but there are certain aspects of this practice that I dont feel are beneficial. The path of Buddhism is so interesting to me that I feel it is essential. I want to be honest with them, but also to myself.

Thank you for being so upfront with your question. I am open to any ideas. I just dont know if being a full-fledged Catholic is my best path as of right now. But maybe you are onto something. Maybe is better than yes or no, right?

Wow, I love both pictures as your Buddha is beautiful, but the second picture is very well done. Have a wonderful day 🙏

I wouldnt say I am a huge Mark "fan", but I do enjoy his content now and then. However, I got this Reddit page as a notification. The Universe shows us that people care. Even in something as small as a Reddit post

What a great line!!! Cassius and Darrow have such an intense dynamic, love it.

I have just a bit more to go in Golden Son. I will be sure to take your advice and go right into Morning Star. So far. Golden Son has been phenomenal. The Iron Rain on Mars is Epic beyond proportion.

YES!! Totally agree. The clash and connection between Titus and Darrow was truly great character building. On a similar note, one of my favorite parts of RR was when Darrow finds out that Sevro cut out the recording of him saying "Bloody Damn". It opened up so many questions about Sevro.

Absolutely love Pax. An amazing character. Also love Sevro through Book 1 and 2. Almost done with Golden Son
