Christmas

Most of my famiy follow Christian traditions and as I am new to Buddhism I am not sure how to handle these celebrations such as Easter and Christmas. Do I not give gifts at Christmas or share the Christmas dinner? What do other buddhists living in Christian culture do please?

Re: How to train your dog not to pull

Thanks for sharing this. I have a little dog and we normally go out for a walk for a couple hours a day. Off-lead is fine, but on lead it is pretty clear who is leading who!
We do agility training together too. When I am trying to get her to run ahead of me THEN she won't leave my side, lol.

Putting the shoes on to walk the Noble Path

Greetings everyone. Thank you for the welcome I have received here already and look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better. Who am I?
