Hello!

My name is Adrienne, and I am very interested in learning more about Buddha and the practices in Buddhism for two reasons. First, I am a college student and I am finishing up my class on Religions of the World. Buddhism has peaked my interest the most, so I am writing about it. I would love to get as much information as possible about your personal experiences with Buddhism for my paper if you are open to it. I promise I will write with the utmost respect and understanding, and I would be happy to provide a copy of my final product if desired.

My second reason is one of personal curiosity. As I have studied this religion, I have read and observed so many similarities to my own beliefs. While there are practices and traditions which appear foreign, I am concluding the goals are quite familiar. Even after my class is completed, I would like to explore more.

Would any of you be open to helping me in this quest?

Thank you for your consideration, and I wish you many blessings.
