I heard they don’t believe in reincarnation and they eat meat unlike most buddhists, and even though a lot are in Japan they’re atheist and don’t believe in Shinto coexisting with buddhism or something cause they’re atheist

Hi there,
After some time reading and joining some meditation sessions in different schools of Buddhism I came to realise that if I want to get somewhere I better stick to one practice-tradition.
But I find them all so deep and interesting that it’s becoming a hard choice.
I see Theravada maybe as a more direct technique, but Zen is so beautiful and rich! Tibetan is the one with least points, but I’m open to your arguments if you see it as the best option.
Thank you very much!
Andy

What are the main differences in the seperate traditions of Buddhism, ie Theravadin, Mahayana, Tibeten, etc. Is Zen a completely different religion, or is it also a type of tradition? All I know is it’s mostly practiced in Japan.

Does it make you think they’re trying too hard? They were members of Shinto/Zen/Hinduism/Buddhism before, and bam, 2 months after immigration they’re some sect of christianity or the other.
Are we really a culture melting pot? Or are we pressuring these people to change?

Like the Three Kingdom Period? And Confucious? And Zen Buddhism? The new Chinese Epic movie “Red Cliff” grossed more money in Japan than it did in mainland China. LOL….

I’m a very stressed out college freshman, and I’ve been reading a bit about meditation from my psychology textbook.
The health benefits sounds amazing, and I would really like to start, but where? I downloaded some peaceful songs on my iPod, and I want to borrow some meditation books from my library. But it seems so complicated, there’s Zen Buddhism, Toaism, and other types of mediation, and then some talk about chakras? I’m not even sure what the differences are. Please help!!

For example Zen, Tibetan, Theravada, etc. Which one have you found to be the best for you in your spiritual journey? I’m a 16 year old and I want to be a Buddhist, but I’m not sure which one yet. I’m leaning towards Tibetan.
