[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 658048, member: 17269"] Child, it is always interesting to me how many of these philosophies are cross cutting...a lot of people define Buddhism as a philosophy and not a religion anyway...and I too see no conflict between any of the religions with which I am familiar and Buddhism. I was raised unitarian...my ex husband is jewish, as is my SO. My kids were all bar and bat mitvahd, and they go to a Quaker school...I sometimes confuse quakerism with buddhism, and their meetings for worship (in which the room sits in silence, with no leader or preacher, since they believe that "there is that of god in all of us" and no need for an intermediary...whomever is moved to speak, speaks. I was moved once.) with meditation. The best example I have is of natural childbirth, where lamaze and bradley all talk about letting go, releasing and trusting...surely the only way to survive those darn contractions!!! and horseback riding...you can relax into the canter and then the ride is lovely and smooth, or you can stiffen up and battle the rocking horse motion and you'll bounce all over the place and get off with a sore a__. Maybe that is the best analogy of all! Echo [/QUOTE]
