Of course and from my understanding, Buddhism is the fastest growing religion in America...HURRAY! Maybe peace isn't such a distant hope afterall.
I'm not a Buddhist but I love that they do not have a religion of fear and hate.

I know lots of Buddhists of all different races. I consider myself semi-Buddhist.

I love Buddhists, because even though they don't eat crispy smokey bacon sandwiches, they are calm and peaceful and i respect that.
