i'm getting addicted to my religion class.


I have been learning about all of these incredible different ways of thinking, and I love it. I love freshening up the gospel with insights from other religions. It seems like all of sudden there is this spring cleaning of the ideals of Christianity.

We've only studied Hinduisim and Jainism thus far, but they alone have changed how I look and things, and has served to simultaneously challenge and bolster my own feelings and beliefs.

This world is full of goodness and truth, and I feel truly priviliged to be able to take part. And if you feel like chatting religion, give me a call, I've recently become very very keen on learning and sharing as much as I can.

The hand with a wheel on the palm symbolizes the Jain Vow of Ahimsa. The word in the middle is "ahimsa". The wheel represents the dharmacakra which stands for the resolve to halt the cycle of reincarnation through relentless pursuit of truth and non-violence.
