#push [[buddhism]]
- I consider myself a [[buddhist]].
  - Mostly [[rational]], but I think it’s rational to be [[irrational]] some of the time (an example of a [[hedge]] maybe).
- I try to follow the [[eightfold path]].
- I try to practice as a [[bodhisattva]].
- I believe in [[buddha nature]] as something common to all [[conscious beings]].
[[meta]]
- Ha, I can’t believe I hadn’t noded Gautama until [[2020-12-11]].
- As of [[2021-11-20]] this was still clearly a stub.
- As of [[2021]] I was not sure about my thoughts on many earlier and later [[buddhas]], but I wanted to learn more about them.
