OP, I'm a Buddhist myself (though not a hardcore Buddhist), so if you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer

it is metaphor for reincarnating in the PRESENT life. meaning changing the chemistry of your thoughts, speech and actions into a positive force.Originally Posted by nick0lis

I have been looking online at Buddhist temples that offer meditation classes and things like that from beginners to advance. I figure I should just go to a temple and talk to someone over there. It says all classes are free, but a donation is reccomended, anyone know what a reasonable ammount is? I live in Houston, so anyone else from here that practices?
