I just stumbled into wisdom....
I just stumbled into wisdom.... I got involved in Buddhism by accident. Needing a few more credit hours to graduate college, and having completed all the actual requirements for my degree, I decided to take the one "weird" course f my college career, one on zaezen, the sitting meditation. After graduating, though, in the course of entering the daily grind of work and responsibility, I did find in that practice a source of personal strength and practical insight useful, even necessary to me. I'm joining this group just to find people with similar experiences to trade notes and share encouragement.
