“Buddhism means growth, progress, improvement - of the individual and of society; it spurs development through a deep inner reformation ”.
My name is Hannah, and I have been chanting for 20 years, I started when I was 16 years old. My boyfriend at the time was a Buddhist, he told me all about it and it all made such a lot of good sense to me that I gave it a go.
Why do I practise ?
Well, that's a very good question ? I ask myself this all the time.
I first encountered this Buddhism through my Greek Language teacher back in early 1994 . I became friends with her and her husband and often used to go out drinking with them. They kept mentioning Buddhism and encouraging me to attend neetings but I had no interest at all - I mean, why would I ?
