I have a question though. I was afraid of asking it on the previous thread, because I was worried that it would go unnoticed.
My question is would Buddha forgive me for saying "f you" to him?

yes , most certainly , and in the same way jesus forgave , the buddha would allso forgive .

I know that I can learn more about Buddhism and eventually become "Buddhist" because of the helpful answers I got from my previous post about possibly being too immoral. I know you can too , why do I say that I know ? simply because many of us here chose buddhism as a way of making our lives more managable , a way of finding calm in a crazy world , becoming better people , the people we would rather be , it dosent happen over night but for you it will start with simply forgiving your self for being human .,

in buddhism there is a lot of emphasis on compassion , that means understanding human frailtys , It is possible in times of stress for any of us to become angry , and maybe swear and curse , you are not the only one to have human frailtys !

I am just wondering if it is possible or logical for me to be able to love the Buddha and learn Buddhism after using profanity against Buddha and Buddhism. compleatly possible , compleatly logical

if you read buddhas teachings and find much to be appreciative of , then love for buddha will naturaly come , in the same way that we appriciate and love our dearest friends .

If this is repetition please forgive me. I just have a lot of anxiety. Is my seeking forgiveness guilt from when I used to be a Christian? prehaps it is , but buddhism is not like christianity buddhism advocates a more gentle approach without the need for guilt , I know that it is hard to break old habits , and feeling guilt may just have become a habit , try to let go , try to relax a little , try the most basic breathing meditation, try to replace the old habit with a new habit ,

can I ask which kind of buddhism appeals to you most ?
what you have read , and what you found most helpfull ?

with best wishes
