Answer
Hi Susan,

1. do you meditate daily? if so, how does this impact your daily life? what are some important aspects of daily meditation?
Very much would I like to meditate daily; but honestly I don't because of time constraint.  Buddhist meditation helps one to be more alert and mindful of things one does.

2. how do you think one can benefit from practicing Buddhism?
Becoming more tolerant, more compassion for life, and experience inner peace.

3. how has practicing Buddhism impacted your life?
To live a noble, contented and harmless life.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
