Default 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

*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.

Default 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. I'll try to remember, but I may I slip up and call it prayer. If I do, please know I am only sending you healing and caring thoughts.

Welcome to the Sanctuary.
