I'm Christian but i think i could embrace the buddhist Values

[GiCa]

Catholicism says: you would never have another god beside of me

but people who see things as only exclusivist are always wrong. i'm christian in the soul (because i truly am) but nothing will block me to feel apreciation and interest for another scheme of seeing things

converions are always super motivated. the thing is that i'm not zealous religious and i don t have big reasons to live christianity.

but i would read books on buddhism and that could brings new interesting principles to my life and seing life with new kyes and changing the side of wiew as i want


most christians are like me. we are not like muslims

Explain more clearly how you could embrace Buddhist values. Which do you mean? Non-attachment? Compassion? Philosophical concepts like Anatman (Not-Self), Pratityasamutpada (Interdependent arising of all phenomena), the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path?

If you have patience to explain me briefly those concepts or link some infos i would be interested

But i could buy books too

To me religion should not be fanatic. It s The most important thing

If it feels right for you, then why not?
If you think it could lead you to a path of personal betterment, enlightenment or whatever you wanna call it, go for it.

I'm Christian as i was born in a culturally christian-atheist society that is Italy.

i think thought that i could embrece buddhist values too; it s thought the general culture past of family plus society thought that maybe would never bring me to enter the buddist comunity.

and i'm not obsessed-zealant with religions that too.


I could become a Dueal Christian-Buddhist person because i love and belives also in christians value.
; even if christianism makes you belive only in a christiianism.. i mean the catholic conception rules


i think the God-Human spitituality revealed greatly itself in theese two religions.

absolutely not in Islam (as i personally see it 0 positively and all negatively) and not too obviously in Judaism (few filosophic huminists values too in that religion) thought i don 't hate jews nor i would hate a moderate islamist if they exist (in that case i'm doubtfull thought.. so that i might desrespect almost all islamist people)

There's a lot of evidence Jesus was influenced by Buddhism. Many of his quotations are Buddhist. We know there were some Buddhists historically in 1st century Judea (merchants etc).

i have a great respect for jewish; because above all they mind their own, meaning they don t force you to their religion
same as buddhist and (today, not past) christians

thought i perceive judaism is hevely based on ethno-culturalism, it has also good principles, but as it has a big ethno-cultural philosophy i could never become one nor i could never comprehend it

instead i could comprehend and have an insight on buddhist prysm of life

for sure christianism and judaism had contact with the religions of india, wich are the basisa of buddhism christianism and judaism
