May you be happy.

Thanks for the information...but i've already found a buddhist center near my city, and I'm very happy, I'm gonna visit the center as soon as I can =)Have a nice and peaceful day! Namaste;)
Thank you very much for your comment =) well beside my mom that is supporting me a lot, the rest of my family don't take me seriously when i tell them that i'm a buddhist ...But I know that they believe that this is not going to be lasting because I am a teenager, but I know that I am going to be a Buddhist the rest of my life ... the truth is that since I am a Buddhist I feel more happy and I try to not hurt sentient beings and help peolple around me.
