in the journey that your chum knows of you're Buddhist are you confident she asked you to prefer to HER god? many don't have the assumption of diverse religions down and impose their very own ideals. Buddhism has a effective metaphysical ingredient and is as plenty a faith as a philosophy. yet i'm now no longer confident your chum understood that via prayer, she was concerning to the meditation to evoke your very own compassion, charity, inner rigidity and information. you could say to her, i'll prefer in my very own faith or concept as you pray in yours. or you could nod your head and discover your very own concept and now no longer concern approximately no count if or no longer she thinks you're praying to her god or now no longer. there are a number of examples of Buddhist and Christian leaders coming mutually, on the grounds that the innovations of compassion and charity between the existence of Christ and Buddha are not an prolonged way off, purely the metphysical concept and the afterlife. good examples are the writings of Thomas Merton, DT Suzuki and Thich Nhat Hanh.

Buddhism teaches that views and opinions should not be cherished. Even your own.
Tolerance is important. But not as important as removing delusion.
