I do think Buddhism holds many truths of note, but approach them differently than I would. These include the marks of existence, and some of the noble truths(life is suffering). I simply think that to escape these or mitigate their negative implications take different actions than a Buddhist may take.

Everything is constantly changing, and this change causes pain.

Detachment from temporary objects in a temporary life is the key to peace

Buddhism portrays life as suffering, and has many different methods in order to escape that suffering. I do agree that we should try to attain a better understanding of life and it’s purpose, and prepare ourselves for what is to come next. Also that life won’t last forever.

There is no one direct path to finding enlightenment. Everyone is capable of finding their enlightenment, in different ways. I think that reading the book of Siddhartha really highlighted this idea. In the book we find forms of Buddhism from Mahayana Buddhism to Duhkha.

I found that Zen Buddhism was very interesting. Especially Soto, and Rinzai. Soto is a gradual awakening, and Rinzai is a sudden awakening and they can be expressed in many different ways.

I accepted that it is best for me to focus on the present moment, and I need to let go of any past attachments that prevent my development.

I found that all religions hold truths that I take in when we learn something new, duh. In Buddhism I personally found that Mahayana buddhism is applicable to my life, the Christian "golden rule", and to the world. I loved the idea of zen and all the activities that come with it

I think Buddhism has many valuable teachings, but I don’t think it would work for me. While I agree that life is full of suffering, I think it’s overly simplistic to say that life is suffering. However, I do agree that a life of moderation is the best way to alleviate suffering.

I found the concepts of Annata, Annika, and Dukkah interesting in the context of the three marks of existence since I could find it in my own life. The concept that everyone and everything is changing and that we all experience little sufferings and joys in life.

The way that Buddhism portrays the human condition can really be true to anyone whether they are affiliated with the religion or not.

There’s the saying that we need to be in the present moment, but time is always moving and ever changing, sometimes we need to take time to sit and breathe before we go on with our lives, time to think about and reflect on the change

Meditation is very helpful and I will definitely be using it in the future. I also found that because life is suffering, I can be at peace with the fact that all of my troubles will pass

Life is suffering. The way to achieve enlightenment is to let things go. However, everyone finds their own path to peace.
