Hello all, I have some questions. I'm very new to this and I'm honestly not sure where to start. (reddthat.com)

  1. I enjoy games, is bluffing such as in poker forbidden? I don't gamble.

  2. Where do I start?

  3. I don't understand meditation. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly?

  4. Where does the Buddhist code vs religion start. For example I was told you could for example be a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Tao/Hindu/exct and Buddhist.

  5. Why do you personally feel this religion is real? Is there something that made you drawn to it?

You'll need to say what you're doing before anyone can comment on whether it's "correct".

  1. Why do you personally feel this religion is real?

What do you mean by "real"?

  1. Going to a quiet place and trying to make an honest effort to think about nothing and clear all thinking.

  2. I'm wondering how others have gotten to this path. I'm curious on others stories and journeys to get here. To this small slice of the internet to discuss religion here.

I would say no, you're not doing it correctly. Have a look at this video:
