My journey into bhuddism...

It started in 2001. Back then i was addicted to cannibus and my life
was chaotic. I gave up and decided to change my lifestyle. Getting my
mind back was one awakening and the healthy lifestyle was another. I
decided to live my lifestyle in a perfect balence. I mediatated,
ate,slept,worked, socialised, thought and felt in balence. After two
weeks of doing this, I began to develop concepts that I I felt were
wise and a good way to live life. I mediated and meditated until I
felt enlightened. So in tune with high thoughts, I wanted to share it
with the world. It was only then I realised that people will find it
on their own and can only find it themselves that it ended. Later I
went to a bookshop with my eyes closed and came home with, "The little
book of bhuddism" It was then I realised that everything i had thought
was in the same context. I began reading more and more. Eventually I
came across the powerful story of the Dalai llama. I began to read his
books and watch movies about him. My favourate is, "The Art of
Happiness". It wasn't long untill The Dalai Lama visited Melbourne
that I went to the four day teachings. In the heart of a chaotic city
was a space filled with peace. The moment I entered the room, I felt
at peace and content to be there. I even smiled at the christian who
was protesting out the front.
Since then I have made quite a few visits to local temples and attended
meditation classes, but feel extremely nervous, that I am not worthy to
be amongst an elite bunch of human beings who have reached this state.
So I am learning and getting there. Now I have a family who are all
vegetarians and my children know how to meditate. I want to take them
to bhutan to live there, but afraid to find that same nervousness. Any
suggestions?
