Buddism

[katrina102457]

Since I have not been a member long since this board started
I have a question. How did Steven Seagal become involved in Buddism? Was he, as a child, raised in any particular faith?

Thanks & Hugs

Dear Katrina,

in oneness

Well according to a couple articles here:

"I was born with a serious spiritual consciousness & for many years studied different paths.I went to Japan in the late 60s and began Zen sitting.I visited monasteries,studying Buddhism & receiving spiritual instruction.This was the beginning for me,the way I believed it should be-the devolopment of a physical man through Martial Arts & polishing the spiritual side simultaneously."

In one interview he even said he was introdused to Zen thought in his early childhood as his father was a Japanophile.
