My parent and neighbour used to observed the lunar calender very closely, inorder  to know which date needs to pray to what.  Sometime I forgot, but the next morning you start to smell incense coming from outside and you realised it was mid or end of the lunar month or it was a birthdate or anniversary of certain dieties...etc.  Also, other faith like muslim, christian and Jews also have their own weekly religious praying and probably gathering. 

 

As a gay person, do you follow your family ritual or you just do it out of your own belief, insecurity or other reason.  As youngers, I believe some of them do, but not all.

 

So, what is your religious lifestyle?

All religion dont have concrete prove so up till now i still dont believe in any of them but i do listen to some of their teaching and decide if their teaching is right or wrong. Although i dont believe in them i still do volunteer work to help prepare for vegetarian meals at buddhist temple as i do believe keeping animals from harm is the right thing to do.

In the changing room, the boy next to me was having a hard-on.

And then, kept rubbing his crotch and walked back to the cubicle without locking the door.

"Public cruising in these days of apps and saunas!"

 

I walked off to the shower room.

A hunk was masturbating in front of me.

 

And then, the boy followed in.

 

No wonder it is called "Good" Friday.

"Religious lifestyle"... :D

A friend I know will chant to Buddha every morning and every night without fail  It was his daily ritual.   Some elderly, can't really walk well, will also persist on heading to temple during the praying season.  It seems, everyone needs some sort of spirit protection regardless of faith.

Before that, one must know the meaning of the term "religion". The term has become a religious label for the human beings: Buddhists, Christians or Muslims. Some trying to show how many times they pray in a day but the things they do show the anger, greediness and stupidity in them. Where is [religion]? What is [religion]? Actually, religions are not in their labels but true religions introduce the same principles, i.e,  about "training the minds". For example, you train your mind not to do something, knowing that that something is bad, vicked or cruel. We train out mind not to do those bad doings. It's not because "Oh, buddha said we can not do this so we cannot do this.", punishments or going to hell. There are free-thinkers out there in the society, but do we think that they're behaving as barbarians? If we have observed carefully enough, they may be far more better than those so-called "religious" group of people. They live as "human beings" by avoiding committing bad doings but practice religious principles although they have no religious labels.

 

I'm somehow religious. I asked this to myself before I was a buddhist: "Who is buddha?". I have my answer for now. He was born as a human but He Himself practices eight noble paths, reached Nirvana and taught us about [Emptiness]. He understands the cycle of life and wanted a way to break the cycle; He did it 2500 years ago. He hopes His disciples would follow His footsteps and that is why He reminded: " 以戒为师". Burning incenses do not cover up the karmic hindrances in us; offerings in any form to deities do not guarantee you may reborn in the Buddha land. it is our minds. And that comes to my religious lifestyle: do volunteer works in temple, prayers for the dead, deliver good words for the ills and most importantly one repentence rituals yoga practice at the end of the day  to purify the transgressions of body, speech and mind. In Tantrayana, when your body radiates a light that does not come from outside, but is emitted from your own inner self, even when there is only one drop of light, that drop can eradicate the negative effects of all transgressions. Today, we are born as human beings. We are enshrouded in karma hindrances, and we do not know that there is light in our bodies. Tantrayana teaches us how to radiate our own light by purifying the transgressions of our body, speech and mind to return to Emptiness by suspending it in empty space through Samadhi (Meditation in simple layman terms). 

 

No one is perfect but what we can do is continue to fix ourselves and learn from life.
