JuBu Quest
http://jewexploringbuddhism.blogspot.com/
A JuBu is a Jew who practices forms of Buddhist meditation and spirituality. This blog is a journal of my quest to 1)heal from sexual, verbal, and emotional abuse and 2) find balance by exploring Buddhism while staying grounded as a Jew. Bascially, I've experienced some pretty crappy shit in my life and want to find a way to move past it and find happiness. If you relate to this quest in any way, feel free to share your story and experience.

When Are Anti-Depressants Necessary?
I am still debating whether or not to go on an anti-depressant. Some days are better than others, and while I feel less depressed than I did a month ago, its still here. I don't know what is depression really though and what is just grief. If what...
