I consider myself a Buddhist. The nearest temple is a bit aways, but I try to live by it. I've read a lot of books, and have gone to a few teachings. I find it very comforting....use it as a philosophy and/or a religion. That's the beautiful thing about Buddhism imo.

Read ANYTHING by HH Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Surya Das....these are Tibetan Buddhists. There's Zen, Varyjana, Therevada, etc. Give it a try...take what you can from it.

Much like yourself, I was attracted to Buddhist sayings and began educating myself. The more I learned, the better I felt.

Good luck! Namaste
