Do people born into a particular tradition generally stick to it, or do they have the same freedom as I seem to have now? (just out of interest).

Hi Mark,

I'm sorry you haven't had any response to your question. I think it can only be answered by someone who was born into one of the Buddhist traditions. At a guess I would say that probably if people are born into a tradition, its possible that they might just accept their cultural beliefs without necessarily investigating outside of them - but obviously I can't say for sure, because I'm a westerner.

with kind wishes,

Aloka
