My name's Nicholas and I live in Montreal city in the province of Quebec, next to Ontario. I am seventeen years old.
I am interested in Buddhism about 2 years ago. Wisdom , simplicity, truth, Buddha's teachings .. All of these things interest me very much.
I am a student. My parents don't believe in anything. They are atheist. My grand mother was a christian, she died 3 months ago because of a cancer.
What about why am I interested in Buddhism ? That's because it's just a kind of life lesson .. You learn by experimentations. It's between a scientist approach and a spiritual teaching. That contains the advantages of these two kind of way to perceive the life. first of all, You have to see by yourself if the teachings you're learning is correct. And on the other hand, You have to believe on spirituality and on the dhamma. I also like the fact that there are no miracle promised in the buddhism, You have to do your own efforts and you must practice the more you can do for have results. Meditation will help you and It is necessary to reach your goal.
I wish we'll have nice discussions and a friendly environments for it.
Oh! Yeah ..I am French. So I am sorry if I made any mistakes. My writting level in english is not very good.
Peace to all of you !
