Your post was very informative and warm. Thanks for that. I have been looking into different types of Buddhism because the one I am in, The Kadampa school is great and I have learned a lot and the people are wonderful. But I have read Geshla's explanation of death and it is worse than a horror movie. So I looked into Tibetan Buddhism and I did not find anything like that so far.


I will try to find a zen place around here or look it up. One of the problems is there is not a lot available where I live. The only one that I know of is the Kadampa.

One thing one of the teachers said to me last night, (and you and others have said it too) is not to make any decisions when you are angry. And then he said to wait until you have a happy heart again to figure out the direction to go.

Yankey: I just realized that I did not say anything about your Mom dying. I'm sorry you lost your Mom but I think the way you two ended things was wonderful.
