Religious Backgrounds
Submitted by Chrome47 on September 6, 2006 - 5:47am.
After reading the GTD 'cult' thread, I thought I'd ask what kind of religious or philosophical backgrounds everyone comes from. It may be too sensitive a topic (just like at parties, you shouldn't talk about religion or politics), but it'd be interesting to see where people are coming from. Obviously some see a Buddhist influence in GTD, and others may see something else? Or others (like myself) come from a different background and wouldn't know the difference.
Again, I know it's a pretty big can of worms, but I think the people around here are thoughtful enough to take everything in stride. There are quite a few thinkers here.

Guess I am a "medium-B"...
Guess I am a "medium-B" buddhist. I used to have a more formal practice, since my kid was born I just try for mindfulness and to loosen up my attachment to unhelpful emotional states. I sat zazen for a number of years, now my practice and understanding (meager as they are) lean more toward Tibetan teachings, esp. in the tradition of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
