in a not-so-buddhist fashion, Andrew talks through what is involved in "becoming a buddhist". For many people who are not raised Buddhist, it may be confusing to approach this spiritual tradition or to feel "a part of", especially because, for many people, it doesn't feel distinctly religious or dogmatic. But do we lose something by keeping our distance from identifying as a Buddhist? doesn't the buddha himself encourage us to not get lost in "identification" anyway? In this talk, Andrew explores what it means to Become a Buddhist and why it may be important. Enjoy!
