Buddhism

I have been following Thich Nhat Hanh for many years. He was a Buddhist Monk activist from Vietnam and founder of the Plum Village monastery in France. Sadly he died in January. He said that a cloud never dies. 'When the cloud is no longer in the sky, it doesn’t mean the cloud has died. The cloud is continued in other forms like rain or snow or ice. So you can recognize your cloud in her new forms. If you are very fond of a beautiful cloud and if your cloud is no longer there, you should not be sad. Your beloved cloud might have become the rain, calling on you, ‘darling, darling, don’t you see me in my new form?’ And then you will not be stuck with grief and despair. Your beloved one continues always. Meditation helps you recognize her continued presence. '

I don’t know a lot but I do know you aren’t worshipping a person, you are following his teachings. I know people who are Buddhists and met monks in SE Asia and it is perfectly acceptable to follow another faith as well,
