I would also recommend listening to Alan Watts lectures. No matter what religious persuasion you adhere to.

"It does not seem accidental that the night Gautama Buddha left his palace to pursue an answer to pain and suffering was the very night his wife was giving birth to their son. In his quest to eliminate suffering, he actually walked out and left his wife alone in the throes of her pain. Contrast this with the God of the Bible, who came into this world Himself in the person of His Son to suffer on the cross, to embrace pain and suffering for the sake of humanity. Buddha walked away from his son and from pain. In Christianity, God is part and parcel of the solution." (Why Suffering?, p. 131)

Pretty much what I did too - the nurse took the old lady off and I didn't see her again until it was all over

It conflicts with pretty much everything else. Maybe you read it backwards?

I studied Buddhism and eastern philosophy/transcendentalism from 2000-2010, only to return to a non-denominational Christian faith. I can tell you the a relationship with Christ is 1000x more powerful than my old vague notions of a higher power.

Catholicism is the oddest of the Biblical preaching religions. Been to a handful of Catholic churches mostly for girls I dated in the past. They were always rigid and spent most of the time on things other than preaching.
As you aren’t Catholic, Its understandable you would think it odd. The purpose of the mass is to worship God and be in communion with Christ. Scripture readings and the sermon are not the most important part. Christ’s sacrifice is celebrated and by that we fulfill His wish for us to “Do this in remembrance of me”.

Follow Jesus then.
Love neighbor.
See if you are willing to be vulnerable in love at all.

Follow the vids on YouTube and podcasts by Paul Chek
Paul welcomes people who have physical ailments that no one else can figure out. To help these people, Paul had to dig deep into people’s belief systems to get to the root of many problems.
The result:
You get a person knowledge on diverse topics such as health, wellness, and spirituality lay out his ideas on how to live optimally
Paul references many Buddhist teachings (as his mom was a Yogi and he spent time training with monks when he was younger)

Well, Buddhism denies the existence of God as creator and the soul
As a practicing Buddhist that is not true. While Buddhist do not endorse a particular belief you are free to find your own spiritual journey. No Buddhist, including Siddhartha Guatama, claim to know the answer to any/all of life's questions.
Temple in Baton Rouge has an english service on Fridays. Good place to visit if interested. They will translate for you if you go on the other days.

I was raised southern Baptist, but definitely learned a good bit about Buddhism in college. If anything, practicing self-awareness/awareness of my surroundings and what I always considered meditating(clearing my mind) were all huge on the person I grew into. A few years later I found myself reading up on Stoicism and adding that system to my beliefs. I still consider myself a Christian, but it has never hurt to add these facets to my life, and definitely brought more harmony to it.
I always enjoyed this quote and tried to respect it the best I could: "Settling things with God is one thing. Settling things with yourself is another."

quote:I’ve found that I can’t enjoy communion with God or what Christ has accomplished unless I know him well. How do I know him? The scriptures. Oh, and don’t misunderstand, I love tradition too, but only tradition that grapples with the Bible and comes to logical conclusions. Augustine, Gottschalk, Anselm, much of Aquinas, Wycliffe, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, etc.

I feel like the RCC isolationists approach to hermeneutics falls short, and actually robs God of much glory. Choosing to highlight only love and forgiveness and using several “proof texts” to sure up its extra biblical teachings, Catholics struggle mightily with the grand scheme of salvation and the purpose/decrees of God.
I’ve learned these things from solid Protestant churches over the last 10 years, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Meanwhile, I’ve never met a Catholic who knows much of anything about Church History, the Creeds, or the Bible. Until I do, I can’t even have a discussion with one. It’s frustrating. I listen to Catholic Answers, but it’s just more of the same.
Where is the RC Sproul, John Piper, Tim Keller of Catholicism? Surely not the pope...
