Buddhism
I practice Chan, Chinese Zen. The Chan temple was just the Buddhist centre closest to me, but I've never regretted the choice. I like the bodhisattva vows, and appreciate the focus on meditation. I'm also a fan of Chinese culture, and I like the traditions of Chan more than Japanese Zen. What about you?
* Is there a world outside of you? Or is there no world outside of you? * Experience independent of your senses * Is the world eternal or not * The Root of All Sutta MN 1 * How to develop "not-mine" and "not-I am" * Necessity of virtue * You exist because you take things to be yours * When Eternity becomes impermanent and unownable * Disowning yourself * Right and wrong questions * Simile of the arrow and the surgeon * How to diminish the pressure of sensual desires
Theravada Buddhist Sutta from the Pāli Canon
