Question
I am a Christian and have recently been studying Buddism and yoga and I have only met one person in the world who shares the same beliefs as me and as looking for other buddists who are Christians. Is there even such a group of people? If so, where can I find them? My christian friends think I am ow into the occult and friends I have net that are also into astrology or yoga etc, reject me because I am a christian. Is there anyone like me around?
