My Path

In all my years I was taught from my parents and spiritual teachers and pastor what was the Way, what was the Truth, what was the Life, and I swallowed it with out any questions, because I was taught questions were taboo or a sign of unbelief. As I grew up and got married and moved away from all doctrines and teachings from my parents and people, I finally broke free to discover what was the Way, what was the Truth, what was the Life. I dared to ask questions. I entered the Path with a blank canvas, without any names or labels, and finally I discovered great Wisdom that derived from several eastern philosophies, from the Buddha, I-Ching, and The Tao. I have learned to find my own Path. I have learned what is mindfulness, what is the four noble truths, what is the eight-fold path, what is enlightenment. I did not have a temple or a person to teach me this, I had to find it on my own. So I found Zen Buddhism. It offered a beautiful way of thinking, a balance way of thinking. The power of meditation and the power of honest and pure practice. No religious dogmatic doctrines, no strict fear mongering concepts, or forcefulness. My path was not easy to find. Many people think they know what is best for you, but in reality YOU know what’s best for YOU. Your True Self, Your Buddha Nature that is within will point you to what you need to know. Seek and YOU shall find. Don’t let someone spoon feed you what is perceived to be the Truth. Don’t get me wrong, what a spiritual person can try to teach you as what is the Truth, can be the Truth, but its their reality and experience. That is Truth expressed in their eyes or thinking. YOUR experience is different, and it will truly be different. Life is not a cookie cut experience, its UNIQUE. Go and find your path and live your experience.
