I find the christianity teachings can be very pain cause if you fall in life which i certainly do , you could be very harsh on yourself [Spirituality & Religion]

I love the teachings but it's a way too painful . At times I can tend to turn to buddhism cause I can get less pain from it , like mindfulness and all of that but when I do practice buddhism it brings up a lot of overwhelming emotions , very raw emotions. Then when doing it my soul can get very empty . Also I practice praying the rosary and that's a powerful prayer .
So I'm kind scared and confused on which path to go .
Had anyone similar situations about there beliefs?

Christianity and Buddhism run parallel. You may not see this now but someday you will.

@curiosi I fully disagree. The only commonality is reliance on magical explanations, and even there they only share one of the three magic components (spirit).

@riseofthemachine The Bible didn't make a whole lot of sense to me for a long time. I started practicing Buddhism and I realized things that I just couldn't grasp previously.

@curiosi I read a story about this catholic woman and she was very rigid in changing her beliefs and it was through pain a Buddhist tried to change her mind cause her husband and herself wasnt getting on for years cause she was after causing the husband severe pain for 5 years and when the Buddhist started to talk to her and bring her into a retreat for 6 days she was able to start talking to her husband again and her husband went in also with his wife and they were able to get on like a house on fire cause over bad communication problems for 5 years and now her husband worships her and now believes in buddhism.
I thought it was a lovely story cause no one would of changed her mind about buddhism over being a catholic

@riseofthemachine The path will be different for everyone, chose what you feel in your spirit. What is right for one isn't for another.
