I'm a Chan Buddhist. I meditate and participate in a local temple.

Very cool! :) Do you practice daily? I need to get better about that

I try to, but it doesn't always work out in that way, even though I've been practicing now for over 8 years. Especially seated meditation I've been bad about keeping up on a daily basis from time to time.. but I do daily yoga (which is to be done mindful to be fair), I read Buddhist sutras and literature, and I participate at the temple 1-2 times a week with group meditation and text recitations and sometimes we have other activities happening. But my monkey mind is still quite untamed :p Don't stress yourself, it's a practice after all
