Hi Madam
Iam from a Christian background and have been drawn to Buddhism due to its emphasis on self understanding and self empowerment in relation to the murky world of spiritual matters.
My concern is what happens to God ....the God who answered my prayers during a lifetime?
This is a sincere post, Iam confused I want to progress and admit feeling love inside after church is fine but I have no understanding of what I call The Eternal ...God, but I know I prayed to him and he listened.
Now I meditate (the minfulness of Breathing ) and I know it is training my mind to focus on the objective,but I feel adrift when I want to pray to God.
My concept of God is LOVE, and unlimited power.
A personal God who through love has compassion and the power to redeem all and change all.
But I know nothing of me, and Iam very very lost and getting old.
I feel like Iam returning home sometimes as I hear Buddhist teachings, but I still feel this unease.
How can I abandon my God?
