Whether you believe in religion or not you have at least thought about it once in your life. This is a documentary about a woman, named Erica, who has practiced Buddhism for the past 4 years. Her involvement in this faith has conflicted with her ?born-again? Christian parents but this conflict has slowly improved as her parents have become more sensitive to her faith although they have no interest in changing theirs. Although this piece is about Erica and her faith, it can?t help but be about religion as well. Hope you enjoy!!!!

  • It was interesting to hear the parents' perspective on their daughter's Buddhist practice. To hear them say that they would love for her to go to church with them and then say that they wouldn't attend one of her meetings unless she really needed them there is a double standard.

    The problem I have with organized religion is blind faith. Too many people are following church organizations without a clue as to what they are following and calling it "truth." You can see that the parents reject Buddhism even after admitting that they don't know much about the religion. They say that there is no structure in it because there are too many sects, but there are millions more interpretations of the Bible.

    Whatever works for you is great, as long as you are finding happiness and peace in your life and aren't harming anyone. But for me, the purpose of a spiritual path is to open your heart and find a deeper connection with other human beings. So whether you're Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Protestant, or whatever your religion may be, if you're shutting people out, then your heart is not truly open because we as humans experience the same emotions and the same human struggles.
