I practice Chan, Chinese Zen. The Chan temple was just the Buddhist centre closest to me, but I’ve never regretted the choice. I like the bodhisattva vows, and appreciate the focus on meditation. I’m also a fan of Chinese culture, and I like the traditions of Chan more than Japanese Zen. What about you?
As someone with minimal knowledge or education im Buddhism but several years of near-regular medication practice, do you have any recommendations for readings related to what you refer to as a secular Dharma practice? I’d love to learn more but I’m having a hard time figuring out where to start with reading.
