Over the past year or so, I've experienced two tragedies (the death of my father and the death of a close friend) that I've yet to fully move pass. I've also had to deal with the stresses of work and school, and as a result, have been experiencing bouts of depression as well as near constant feelings of anxiety and doubt. One of the things I'm doing to try and combat these feelings is begin to learn more about Buddhism and practice meditation. I'm hoping that, with a more serene mind, I'll be able to handle the grief I still feel for my father and friend, as well as the everyday stress of my life.
My question is, is there anyone here who knows about Buddhism or meditation who can give me a few pointers? I've started reading some books and plan to make a trip to the local Buddhist temple, but I'd love any input you all could give. Thanks. :)
