How do the Buddhist Teachings Become a Lifestyle?
2014 November 13
Here’s a great video from Tyler Dewar that speaks quite nicely to the non-proselytizing nature of Buddhism. I always liked this aspect of the tradition.
It’s funny how when I speak to being a Buddhist (when it comes up), people expect me to try and convert them. There’s a fear in their eyes that I’m going to get them to twist into a lotus-legged pretzel, do some kind of phlegmey nose breathing exercises and then try to engage them in some greasy, tantric sex as I thrust with a howling deep throat singing eruption of nyan-cat proportions.
Sadly nope. None of that happens.
It’s all pretty chill. You choose your own path friend and I wish you love, peace, blessings and freedom from suffering.
No hard sell there.

I always say that a Buddhist who tries to convert someone to Buddhism is not really a Buddhist.
So true!
