a simple buddhist
namaste friends,
i was wondering if there was anything wrong with adding things from other religions and cultures into ur buddhist practice. by this i was generally talking about things like t'ai chi, yoga, and things like that. i know that yoga was designed for spiritual purposes, but im not sure if it is used in buddhism, or at least i have yet to hear anything definitive.
so, if anyone could answer this question for me, i would be greatly appreciative. the reason why i am asking is that i just bought a book on yoga written by a yogi from india called 'the heart of yoga'. its really good and i can see a lot of simularities between buddhism and some of the thoughts behind yoga. and so im thinking of starting a yoga practice as well as my meditation practice to get the benifits of both, however i wanted to know if there was any sect that already did this or does anyone else do this?
thank you all very much for all the help.
be well in peace
