Question
Hi! I'm very curious to see what Buddhism achieves for its followers, any help answering these questions is greatly appreciated!

As a follower of Buddhism what, if any, daily routines or practices do you take part in?

What is your personal goal for achievement as a follower of Buddhism?

What have you personally gotten out of being a Buddhist?




Thanks a bunch!

THERE ARE MANY OTHER RESOURCES FOR THESE THINGS. HOPEFULLY YOU STILL HAVE AN INTERESTING QUESTION OR PERSPECTIVE TO SHARE. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR QUESTION...
