A changer of ways
Hello thread, some questions from someone who is generally curious about religions. I've realized recently that Buddhism is the major world religion that I don't really know anyone who practices. I think I have a decent conception of the overall theology of the religion, and this thread has helped with that, but I don't know much about how it is put into practice around the world. Do you know of any good resources to learn about that.
The sort of things I'm wondering about are like how often people in different places go to temple, interact with different clergy, pray/meditate at different times during the day/week, restrictions on clergy like how it some countries they can get married and in others they don't, how strict rules against intoxicants are in different cultures etc. I hope that makes sense.
