Hello all, I have some questions. I'm very new to this and I'm honestly not sure where to start. (reddthat.com)

  1. I enjoy games, is bluffing such as in poker forbidden? I don't gamble.

  2. Where do I start?

  3. I don't understand meditation. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly?

  4. Where does the Buddhist code vs religion start. For example I was told you could for example be a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Tao/Hindu/exct and Buddhist.

  5. Why do you personally feel this religion is real? Is there something that made you drawn to it?

I would say no, you're not doing it correctly. Have a look at this video:
