People have told me that the two are mutually exclusive, and I have always disagreed. Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject? Before I discovered I was actually a Satanist, I considered myself a Buddhist for several years, and used to meditate daily. From my experience I would wholeheartedly agree with what others have already said in this thread - that one can benefit from certain Buddhist meditation practices without taking on board the beliefs of Buddhism itself. I, personally, haven't done any meditation for the past couple of years, but don't rule out using it as a tool at some point in the future. For me Hatha Yoga has replaced meditation in my life - I feel it gives me the benefits I got from meditating, plus keeping me more flexible and feeling less like 'a tin man who needs oiling'!! _________________________ www.vampiretemple.com

I have been doing that for a long time, and have yet to get tired of it. _________________________ http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces http://theepicureandilettante.blogspot.com/ "Life is the only race you lose by reaching the end." - M.M.

Cholinergic <B>CoS Member</B> Registered: 04/16/05 Posts: 888 Loc: UK	The 4 noble truths are to buddhism as the 9 Satanic statements are to Satanism. If you disagree with them you are not a buddhist. Meditation however is a different matter. I personally practice meditation borrowing methods from buddhism and a few other religions but I do not call myself a buddhist. _________________________ Yes, I named myself after a neurotransmitter

Roho_the_Rooster CoS Warlock Registered: 03/10/05 Posts: 6968 Loc: Eremitica	You are right. That brings up another issue. A lot of different religions seem to "work" for some people. Granted...by "work", I mean a philosophical band aid that keeps emotionally damagd people from bleeding all ove everybody...but whatever gets em through the night, I guess. But, still... _________________________ http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces http://theepicureandilettante.blogspot.com/ "Life is the only race you lose by reaching the end." - M.M.
