I have been to a Kagyu Buddhist Monastery 3 times now and have received direct training in meditation/mindfulness and the Dharma in its basics form such as the 4 Noble Truths, the 5 Precepts ,Bodhicitta etc. I have had an interview with a Tibetan Lama Rinpoche.
I think it is a wonderful religion or perhaps philosophy would be a better word but i am not sure if something as formal as a religion is for everybody. Many people go on retreats and aren't Buddhists. If i had to pick a religion to follow it would probably be Buddhism.
