  • finding out half my family is buddhist

    huh?

    so first my aunt told me she’s buddhist, which doesn’t surprise me because she’s very into acupuncture and tea ceremonies and all that very chinese-y stuff.  but now i’m staying in my grandparents room while they’re in another city, and i pick up their pillows and find all these prayer beads and books!  and a little buddha statue with incense in the corner of the room.  it all makes sense now… when i was little i woke up at dawnish because of a tummyache and my grandma was already up and meditating in her room.  i thought it was just old person thing then. and to an outsider buddhism seems all mixed up with daoism and confucianism.  something like that.  but yeah, i think this half of the family is definitely most likely buddhist. cool.
