zen meditation
asked:

i consider myself as a free spirit. or you could call it an atheist.
i have interest in spirituality.
the first on attract me is taoism. a illustrative book by tsai shih chung about the sayings lao zi, zhuang zi, lie zi. Tao is about way of life.
then i also found buddhism, zen and meditation is also interesting.
the four noble truth about sufferings, ignorance. our denial of sufferings. www.buddhanet.net
and mostly because taoism and buddhism gives freedom, so they more a like philosophy rather than religion.
i also learn about christianity, but i don’t like the holy bible, the priests, i only learn from the story lifetime of Jesus Christ and mother Theresa.
i don’t know much about islam and hinduism. except that islam means ’surrender’ and they practicing it by pray 5 times a day. hinduism all i know is the ‘no violence’ by mahatma gandhi.
well i guess the details is different then the title of question.
but from all of what i learn, it is about love and compassion, humanity.
i also interested in science, astrology, tarot, other traditional beliefs like paganism, etc. i also respect to some animism and traditional belief/tradition in way they take care and live in balance of nature, our mother earth.
