Dear Dishwasher,
I want to tell you first what is happening. I'm having a religious
breakdown. It started by having doubts about everything! I felt lost and
found that my traditional religious background was a bit hard to
swallow. There was no meaning in life and I became depressed and
suicidal. So, for some reason I picked up a book on of all things
Buddhism and had what seemed to me a religious conversion. THE TRUTH
about life hit me like a bolt of lightning as though my eyes were always
covered, the confusion lifted and I could see! Now I am so happy and
can't believe how I could have survived this long with the anger and
ignorance that consumed my mind and more important, my heart in
depression. Now, my question is, how do I learn more? Where can I go,
who can I talk to about all this? I see that I have a lot of work to do
and need guidance...Thank you....

Dearest Daniel,
I recommend the shambhala sitting practice. It is less about learning
anything and more about a practice that teaches you to live in the path
of non judgment and peace.
