Sometimes I feel like a Buddhist and I need to chant; sometimes a Baptist and I need to holler and shout; and sometimes I need to be a Catholic and need to purge my sins and confess. It just depends on where I am.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a Buddhist.
Unfortunately, however, I have too many desires to make a good Buddhist.
I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.
I never force myself to be devout except when I feel so inspired, and never compose hymns of prayers unless I feel within me real and true devotion.
I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.
Confession has been my habitual homecoming since I was a child. It is a consolation and a joy, and such joy, our faith teaches us, is meant for everyone. It is our vocation to bring it to as many people as possible.
I don't really go down one path. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist, or a Catholic or a Christian or a Muslim, or Jewish. I couldn't put myself into any organized faith.
I think I would like to be a monk. I really considered Catholicism a few years ago, but there were some things that I just couldn't reconcile.
I am a simple Buddhist monk - no more, no less.
I'm not a Buddhist, or a card-carrying member of any religion.
