hi KY

i suppose if the situation where you mention your interest Buddhism arises naturally, then just be natural

for example, if someone asks you: "Do you celebrate Xmas, are you are Christian?" and you answer "No" and then they reply: "Do you follow any religion?"

then, if you feel the situation is OK, it is only natural to reply: "I have an interest in Buddhism" or something like that

but generally, in my experience, situations for discussing one's personal religion do not readily arise in the workplace, at least in Australia

kind regards

element

Thanks for the Feedback !

I think conversations about religon etc tend to be a bit more commen in my type of workplace than in others. I work at a day care program for those who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease and other types of Dementia so that people can remain in their homes with family and not be put into a nurseing home.

We do alot of discussion and celebration around the holiday season for the participants so we as staff tend to talk about it more than in other workplaces due to this.

All the Best.
