When I say I am a Buddhist...
When I say that 'I am a Buddhist', I am not shouting that 'I am good, better than you or even close to being pure'.
Instead I'm shouting that 'I was lost in the pains, unsatisfactoriness and frustrations of the world, but now I'm walking a path that leads to progressive lessening of my greed and ignorance, lessening my attachments and sufferings day by day.'
