I've always been interested in Buddhism but Dani Shapiro made me understand what it could do for me. I was rised in a very religious Catholic home, a religion that just isn't for me. But I've wanted some kind of connection to something larger for a long time and I feel like Devotion pointed me in the right direction.<br /><br />Books are pretty amazing, uh? Let me know if you attend a retreat at a center like Kripalu, if you are okay with sharing it.<br />AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-33707414493680638042011-03-04T00:51:05.224-05:002011-03-04T00:51:05.224-05:00WOW.
