[FourEsters]

Just out of curiosity, how much of Buddhist teachings do you understand and practise? I find Buddhism very complex (if we get into the details) and I can't get my head around it. I understand the basics such as Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Noble Path and Five Precepts and I use them as a guide on how to live an ethical life. That is pretty much it. After reading the posts on this forum, I realise that many members are very knowledgeable and understand the religion profoundly (honestly, I don't understand half of what is discussed here).

Just want to know to what extent do you consider yourself followers of Buddhism

Hi peen, much discussion about what is written in the Pali canon, or where ever is not the actual practice of Buddhism ... no need to be intimidated and judge yourself against such discussions which are rife online ..... attend offline centres and meet practitioners if you are able.
