a more gentle buddhist word for "locked in" is samadhi or "collected"

it can mean "collecting" all parts of ourselves and not rejecting or feel shame about any aspect

Collected
I like that, sounds more…..boujee

Are you Buddhist?

That explains why
Most Buddhist people are always so calm and collected, is that always part of the trainings?

And it’s also nice that you’re open to studying other types of religion

😂  so bougie hahaha

yes, the majority of my chaplaincy training is based on a buddhist curriculum, tho I am doing my best to study other religions so I can be of interfaith support.
