Light of Budhhism

Hello to all. My name is Oscar. I am in the state of practicing Buddhism. As an individual, in the past, I was confused. I did not know what I was doing with my life. I was the type of person that was ignorant, impatient, and full of anger. Nothing was my fault and I could never be wrong. As time passed I got my-self into trouble. Witch lead to my incarceration. I asked my-self “how could this be? How could I not have any control of my-self?” While in my time in incarceration I met a person who studied Buddhism. He Be became a good friend of mine. He explained to me a little bit about Buddhism. I listened. He explained how it could help me better my-self from my-self. How I could control my thoughts and not let them control me. Also about how to detach my-self from material objects, I had a problem letting go of things. He quoted some teachings and philosophy to me and that opened my mind towards a better life in the world. And so an interest in Buddhism was within me. Later on I was moved from that facility to prison. In this prison, that I am currently in, I attend a Buddhism IBS group. While in attendance IBS helps me understand Buddhism better. Now I have developed patience and I have learned to control my anger. The encouragement to practice, study, and live with the teachings of the Buddha Has help me a lot. I no longer feel lost or confused. With their help I’m learning how to control my thoughts. IBS has been a big help in my life. May be one day I’ll be able to help the next person as they are helping me.
