[QUOTE="JimRinX, post: 123414, member: 6872"] SeekingtheLight ji I was raised Catholic - by mixed Protestant/Catholic parents, who really just 'pretended' to satisfy my Fathers Mother, and so that we (4 sibs) could go to the 'better than those on a Military Base' Jesuit-run Schools - but then 'took shelter' (in The Buddha, The Dharma, and The Sangha) in 1981 (I was 16 or 17); so I know what it's like to find oneself at a loss when trying to Justify ones own inate feelings about religion, and the beliefs of the Religion one finds oneself practicing at the time that these doubts first begin to seriously trouble you. I also have a basic admiration for Islam - especially the Suf; so I can understand the attraction you felt for it, just as much as I can understand you leaving it all behind because it lacks, in it's teachings, certain Important Things - like Reincarnation. All that's "Dharma" to me - but then, not to be immodest, I "FOUND" the Light one day in 1991; and it revealled to me the Fact that the changes I'd made so far - Catholicsim-to-Buddhism - were All Good; as it thought, like I do, that there's simply to much Blood on the Cross for it - or the Religion that adopted this Torture-Death Device as it's emblem (Is that, do you think, WJWD? I think he'd FREAK OUT at the very notion, myself!) - to be 'Dharma' anymore; though I do see, before all the Heresies, and the Heretics who practiced them, were killed off by the Imperial version of 'The Church'; the Resurection of Christ as containing a lesson on Reincarnation - trying to tell that to a Modern "Christian", is like pulling a Lions Teeth! I think that all beliefs, at one time or another, were Inspired by the One True God; that they've all, to one degree or another, strayed from the Eightfold Path - in Doctrine, and Practice; that this has happened because Politicians, Emperors, and Kings Ordained these changes to be so; and that this is why, in some traditions, God forbade his 'children' to assigen to Him a Name - as that is what's led to so much Envious Coveting and Deadly War in the name of (fill in the blank with whatever 'God' whose commands your disobeying, to fulfill your entirely Mortal Agenda - in 'IT'S NAME' of course; so you can sleep better at night, eh? It's like the Tooth Fairy, you see.) Anyhoo....I digress, somewhat; this is, after all, just the 'Hello Page'. I know you'll find what you're looking for here; the Sikhi are just what you think they are (even if their often to Proud to want to admit it), a 'blend' of all the Best of some of the Best, most True to God Faiths in existence. I'm still a Buddhist, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a 'King' (Singh) and to marry a Princess (Kaur); though now is NOT a good time to be making such an Important Decision. One more thing; I got interested in Sikhism through a book called, 'An Introduction to Sikhism', which, through quoting the more pertinent and revealing parts of the Guru Granth Sahib, lays out Guru Nanaks Beautiful Vision nicely.ikonkaar [/QUOTE]
