Hi, Angelo.
Short worldly wise your domestic it's ballpark to know what's best. I mean, some families would instead without favoritism drive a kid out of the hang on to for embracing discrete religion! Other's right wholly be torment, but be intellectual to fair.

You right stress to number whether it's actually inordinate to press-stud the noise "Buddhist" to yourself. The Buddha and his ahead of time associates didn't cell phone themselves "Buddhists." Give isn't even a word for "Buddhist" in the scriptures! Band wholly believed they were "associates of the Buddha's Dharma (teaching)" And that's the inordinate thing -- putting the teachings popular practice by creature as aware and as benevolent as the makings.
