22 By Lori Volpe Raised by Catholic parent sin a Christian community, I am an unlikely Buddhist. In retrospect, it seems that suffering was the friend that led me to the Buddhist path. When I was a child of eight, an arsonist destroyed my home, causing me to lose every childhood treasure along with any feeling of safety and security. Our house, rebuilt using the same frame, retained a faint smell of burnt wood, a continual reminder of life's npredictability and impermanence. The fire was followed by a series of deaths - uncles, aunts, my beloved grandmother and then my father. Despite my religion and parent's efforts, I could not make sense of these devastating losses. So began my search for guidance on how to live with uncertainty and the inevitability of loss. After reading a book on Buddhist teaching as a teenager, I knew in my heart that the Buddhist view of life made sense. I tried meditation, but did not like the experience. Busy with school, work, married life and then children, I kept Buddhism in the back of my mind, but preferred an intellectual rather than practice-based approach. But without actually applying the teachings, I realized little benefit. My life's purpose became avoidance of the suffering I knew from the past. I was functioned on two levels: feeling angry, sad, scared and unworthy deep down, while pursuing shallow pleasures that temporarily dulled my pain. Futile attempts to find safety and security were shrinking my world. It was not a satisfactory way to live. Despite having all the makings of a good life, there was no peace or joy. I knew there must be a better way to live. Nine years ago, after reaching a point of desperation, I committed to a meditation practice. Soon, with wonderful teachers and Sanghas for support, I began the difficult and painful task of looking closely at my own mind. It was a pivotal moment when I realized that my way of view of the world was contributing greatly to my own suffering. Meditation offered a way to break through habitual patterns of thoughts/emotions, and helped me to let go of some fear and anger. Connecting with a consciousness beyond thoughts and emotions led to a radical new perspective and a way out of despair. My heart started to become more tender and open, and my life took on qualities of freedom and joy. Looking at my own mind helps expand my compassion towards others. My character and personality are changing from someplace deep inside. Having recently started the ngondro practice, each prostration is made with genuine devotion I never imagined possible. I have ultimate faith in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha and feel enormous gratitude that I have access to these precious teachings. The Buddhist path asks a lot from practitioners. But the hard work can bring profound happiness in this lifetime, as well as a favorable rebirth. OfthisIhavenodoubt. 20 l
