Question
Hi i am josh, i am 16 years old, i come from gloucestershire in the south west of England. I have been funnelled into a career in the Armed forces by my familywho hold a strong tradition. I am doing A levels at school at the moment but i do not have a great interest in any violent career. I have become interested in Buddhism fairly recently because of my interest of spiritual peace and non-violence, i am thinking of a life as a Buddhist living in a community in a Monastery, can you help, where do i start , where can i get help and advice
thanks

Answer
Hi josh
just checking my previous answer to you I wondered if I was clear?
There is I think a "private" flag you can click on when you pose a question. I was suggesting that you do that and
submit me the question again - that way I can give you
personal details of Buddhism in gloucestershire that I
would not normally give out on the publically readable answers.

make sense?
