I know when people read this they will probably think what is he doing. I'm curious, is it realistic to practice Buddhism in todays world? I want to apply Buddhism to my life and even consider myself a Buddhist but I do not want to become a monk in a monestary. I believe when you practice something (in a religious aspect) that you shouldn't pick and choose what to follow. A majority of the concepts and teachings makes so much sense to me but then there is lobha. Dosa and moha are not a problem. Lobha on the other hand is. Is it wrong that I lust for or have a sexual relationship with my girlfriend? Is that selfish? I'm not willing to give up this part of my relationship. How do you apply this to your modern life?
