Healing and caring thoughts will suffice
 

I feel the need to post this because I think it only fair to let others know that I am non-religious. I follow Buddhism as a philosophy for life not as a religion. I do relaxation and meditation, and I have buckets of empathy. I don’t need to be religious to understand another human beings suffering. And, forgive me, but I would appreciate it if you didn’t include me in your prayers. Healing and caring thoughts will suffice. :)

Thank you. Rose

Hi Roseblue

the sanctuary here at NT is a spiritual forum not a religious one and so all are always welcome nomatter their belief or philosophy :)

Greetings to you Roseblue,
I never have and do not go to any church. I do not have a religion but I find this place here a comfort .I hope you will also. I just think caring and helping are the basic blocks to build and live a good life.
Sending healing thoughts , postive caring wishes and peace to you.

You've got mine, Rose.:hug:

You've got it Roseblue! :hug:

*raising hand* Me too, Roseblue~

I believe everyone has the right to follow or believe whatever is in their heart. I keep wanting to call you Rosebud. My Mom's name was Rose *short for Rosalyn* and one of her best friend's always called her Rosebud, so if I slip up and call you that... Please don't think anything of it.

Same here
 

Healing, loving thoughts are a kind of prayer too. I have nothing against prayers for healing, but I do not like prayers for the salvation of my soul, my soul is my private domain. Spirituality needs not belong to any specific religion.
Thank you Roseblue.

Hi Roseblue

I don't belong to any religion either, and i don't follow any particular brand of faith. I don't see any difference between prayer and healing/caring thoughts. I understand what you mean, but it's such a habit for me to call it prayer. :o I'll try to remember, but I may I slip up and call it prayer. :rolleyes: If I do, please know I am only sending you healing and caring thoughts. :hug:

Welcome to the Sanctuary. :)

I wishing you the best, Roseblue. I'm wishing you peace and healing.

Healing and caring, positive thoughts...
 

are offered on your behalf!:hug:

I have a special place in my heart for all religions and all philosophies!
Engaged Buddhism is a beautiful and a very loving philosophy by which to live!:Heart:

Thanks for sharing about your personal preference!:)

You got it. Thinking of you and hoping whatever it is your going through is healed quickly.

(((Roseblue))) I completely understand as it sometimes makes me uncomfortable, but I know people just care no matter what they say.

Peace, love and serenity to you and all of us Ms. Rose. :hug:
