Finding the Path is The Path
In my 30s, I began contemplating the nature of this higher power, a concept I had loosely referred to as “God.” While I cannot articulate it precisely, I sensed a journey of self-discovery unfolding, intertwined with an exploration of something greater than myself. Despite engaging in Buddhist meditation for many years, I hesitate to label myself as a Buddhist because such labels feel confining. The simplicity and practicality of Buddhist teachings initially drew me in, evolving into a deeper appreciation as I delved into their profound intricacies, which seems like more of a philosophical exploration.
