Often it is hard to describe our religion, especially when you are starting out.
This video goes into the depths of who we are and what we are about. Mostly we are about finding our own way together. Spirituality is personal, but fellowship and changing the world require others.
Namaste,

” When parents lose a child, there are rituals to mark their grief — holding funerals, sitting shiva, bringing casseroles. But when that loss happens before birth, it often isn’t marked. Sometimes, it’s barely even mentioned. It’s different in Japan, which has a traditional Buddhist ceremony that some Americans are adopting as their own.”
This article describes a Buddhist ceremony giving closure and relief to the grieving.

Hope this explains more about our religion for those who are unsure and gives a boost for those who are.
