“About 10 years ago, following the death of my mother, I went through a period of deep depression. I went to a psychologist once a week who recommended a book to me, and while browsing at the bookstore I found books on Buddhism. Suddenly I started reading book after book, and realized that the tenets of Buddhism were doing me more good than all the psychology and the talking and the medication. 10 years later, I can't say that I'm a practicing Buddhist, but I hope I can say that I'm a better person for trying each day to incorporate more and more of the practice. I was raised Jewish but was totally non practicing, and consider myself at best agnostic, if not atheist, but the core principles of Buddhism, I think, are the principles that many of the three monotheistic religions claim to themselves but have forgotten to practice.”
