I am a 17 year old male living in Canada and I have been missing something in my life. I do well in school, I play sports and exercise, I am social. However, I still found myself missing... Something. My parents are Christian but I disagree with a lot of the stuff they force on the world. Because of this, and the desire to find answers other than God (which was inspired by life of pi, the book) I've decided to try Buddhism in an effort to understand and satisfy my spiritual needs. The only problem is that the internet is quite confusing, so I was hoping for a more interactive explanation. I have been meditating for about two weeks, and have found great success, and some failures. I am an incredibly scientific person, and it really helps me to know the point of something. Can somebody help explain how to properly meditate and what works and what doesn't? It would also be great to hear about some of the problems I might face as I go through this journey. Thank you all in advance!
