Buddhism questions
Hello all, I am not really a religious person but things have happened in my life which left me with one simple explanation which is "there is someone or something out there watching over and helping me", now whatever or whoever that is, I have absolutely no idea. My mom is Hindu and my dad is christian but to be quite honest, it is not in my nature to pray to any statue or believe the words of the bible which was written by man. I guess I am in a way like a scientist, I need to see physical proof of something before I can beleive it and not take the "word" of man so I have been struggling with organized religion all my life, I am now 49.
I do believe there's a force out there which governs the universe but what that force is I don't know so I pray to the forces of nature, meaning I simply speak out loud while looking at the sky asking that force for help and guidance and I also pray every day while taking a shower by simply closing my eyes and concentrate while the water is running over me and I speak to that force. Someone has told me that Buddhism is very close to my beliefs so I decided to seek out a forum for this to ask questions, can anyone tell me please if this is the correct place to ask my many questions? Thanks.
