Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Rory, I studied Tendai Buddhism and received a preliminary ordination as a shamini, in 2004, but reading Prof Michael Saso's books on Buddhism and Daoism, I realized the things I liked in Tendai were Daoist. And I never could ascribe to Buddhists' belief that this world is suffering; I really reject that.
I started some of Mantak Chia's books and am reading Livia Kohn etc...So I look foward to discussions, engaging in practices, finding a genuine teacher and generally learning more.
cheers
Rory
