Hi Dawn,

Aloka and Karma Yeshe are giving a good advice. Traditions offer different means and tools toward awakening. Traditions differ and their teachers too.

To explore and to realize what best fits with you is a good idea.

I explored Zen and at the end it did not fit well at all with me so I leave it.

I have found the in the teachings of Buddha the inspiration and the fundamental knowledge so to practice his doctrine even when from time to time the teachings of the Thai Forest Tradition can gave a very fresh and good approach to this same teachings.

Being into the teachings of Buddha are bringing content, peace and joy.
