I've read most of the way through Rebel Buddha and the concepts sound interesting - and, well, to be frank one of the biggest selling points for me is learning to be able to let go of anger and frustration and other emotions that are unproductive and unhealthy to cling to. So I'm considering exploring it further, especially since so many of the UUs I know seem to have practices that relate to concepts the author mentions (mindfulness, meditation, intentionality, nonattachment, selflessness, etc.) and, you know, they seem happy and healthy.

So, basically: anyone up for talking about their experiences with Buddhism? have opinions about how its practice intersects with culture and identity? etc. (to be honest the parts about letting go of my concepts about my own identity were kind of scary, but in a possibly good way? idk)

Comments are set to be screened, in case that's a concern. I'll unscreen if you say it's okay though.
