How to start a Buddhist / Zen lifestyle?
I want to become a Buddhist. I am most interested in the Tibetan and Zen types of Buddhism. I have several questions...
1. How do I become a Buddhist?
2. What should I eat in my diet?
3. Do I have to give up all material possessions or do I just not let them own me?
4. Should I practice meditation, Tai-chi, yoga?
5. Any other suggestions?
I'm 13 and my family is all Catholic, so I really would like to hear this from a real Buddhist, and I still practice Catholism because Buddhism is not a religion but a way of life. Now I would not like to recieve comments saying "Read the bible."
Here are some answers from a Zen Buddhist perspective:
1. You become a Buddhist by engaging in Buddhist practice. Buddhism is fundamentally a practice tradition, not a faith tradition. So if you engage in practice (meditation, chanting, bowing, study, etc.), you will follow the path of all Buddhas.
2. This is up to you. Some Zen practitioners eat a vegetarian diet, others do not. Zen monks and nuns are strictly vegetarian.
3. Don't let anything own you -- your possessions, thoughts, feelings, place in society, or any other thing.
4. I encourage you to begin meditation practice. Neither tai chi nor yoga are part of the Buddhist practice tradition, although each is a worthy activity.
5. If your parents can support you in this, consider going to a Buddhist center near you for instruction and support. Although meditation is very easy to learn and do, most people find it difficult to sustain for a period of time without the support of a community.
For a listing of worldwide centers, go to: http://www.buddhanet.info/wbd/ If there is more than one center in your community, you might visit several and see which one feels "right" to you.
You might also be interested to know that a number of Catholic priests and nuns practice Zen Buddhism. Zen practice does not conflict with their holy vows. Indeed, some priests and nuns have become recognized as Zen masters. Here's info on one of them: http://kennedyzen.tripod.com/

Best wishes on your path!
