Back in the day when I ate a lot of shrooms I tried to be Buddhist.
All I really did was read up on it a lot and buy a huge Buddha. Most asian people I talked to about it said he's really just a good luck charm. They didn't really belive in him as an all powerful god per se, like Jews and Christians, but they did say prayers.
I still have the big Buddha in my apartment. Mainly it's there just for people to look at when we're all really trashed late at night. I also have a statue of Shiva for those of you who know a little bit about eastern religions. She has 18 arms, 14 of which are spread out behind her like a peacock's feathers.
I've come to the conclusion that the majority of Americans who are not of Asian decent and who are Buddhist usually do or have done a lot of drugs. Every white American I know who is Buddhist either smokes a lot of weed, has smoked a lot of weed or does LSD/Shrooms.
