Buddhist Mentor

[nasentbuddhist]

Good Day All,

I have few questions about daily life as a Buddhist. I am looking for a mentor to discuss these items with. One problem I am having with the temples in the area, and there are many, is a barrier of language and culture. Below is a snapshot of my life at this time. I look forward to hearing from the community.

A little about me and my family:
Married <10 Years
Second Marriage for both of us.
I am 43
Two Girls 6 and 17 (entered college at 12)
Spouse has a serious illness
I am a disabled Combat Veteran with chronic pain issues
Both adults were college instructors now retired
2 Cats and 3 Dogs and a Chihuahua Family
Homeschool
Local Temple is <5 miles from house
Theravada Buddhist
Bibliophile
Anti-Luddite "Early adopter of technology"
Live within the city limits of a large Metropolitan City



Pax,

William

Hi William. Welcome to the forum.

I'm not an early adopter of tech (don't have the cash really), but like you I'm not a Luddite. I look forward to and long for singularity and transhuman existence.

Karen,

Thank you for the welcome. I am looking forward to meeting others and learning with the group.

Hi my friend, thank you for your service to our country. I follow Maitreya The Friend of all Souls, and he has a great appreciation for the Sacrifices that you have made. See the Empty Chair Maitreya built in his front yard www.emptychair.us

Maitreya teaches us Maitreyians accept, love and revere all of God's Mercies to man, and we love and respect Buddha with all of our hearts.

Our prayers will be with you and your wife.

Ila Friend
