Hello everyone, my name is Britt and very recently I adopted the Buddhist philosophy and started meditating. I identify as a Buddhist Atheist and I was always interested about Buddhism, albeit I don't know too much about it unfortunately. I'm mostly interested in Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism as I am very into the Chinese culture and I have no idea which school of Buddhism I would fall under.

I decided to join the forum so I can learn more about this philosophy I took on as a lay buddhist and to change into a better, peaceful person and sharing stories with others. I have a lot of questions and I'm excited to join this forum. :D

Welcome!

Theravada is a type of Buddhism that is not practiced much in China or Tibet, except for perhaps southern areas that border Theravada countries. But we hope that the Buddha's teachings, whether in our tradition or in another, help you develop in wholesome ways!

Do let any of us know if you have questions - feel free to post threads and I'm always around to be PM'd too.
