45 - Do You Have to Believe in Everything Buddhism Believes In?
If you are new to Buddhism, there are plenty of things in Buddhism that make you question if it is real or not. But they are clearly part of the religion. And, different traditions may have various beliefs. So, do you need to believe in everything "Buddhism" believes in? This is one of the most asked questions and concerns for Westerners coming into Buddhism. As I'll talk about in this episode, it's OK to not believe in everything right away, but please be respectful. We don't always understand everything (and often how they help you understand Buddhist concepts and develop!), and that's OK! Being OK with not knowing and understanding everything right away can be challenging, but an important part of engaging with the religion.
