Great stories, everyone!! Raised a Catholic and actually pondered becoming a priest but exposure to Yogananda, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, Vernon Howard and a slew of Buddhist teachings changed everything. I love the directness of experience espoused by Zen teachings. No formal structure with my sadhana - I meditate daily and attempt to be in the moment; I practice gratitude, service and simple listening. Great to read stories of others set on their paths.
