It’s Maria Shriver’s good fortunes that her close friend Rob Lowe had introduced her to Buddhism. Many Americans have benefited from practising Buddhism since Buddhism had taken roots in the United States. Celebrities like Richard Gere, Tina Turner and others had also embraced Buddhism because Buddhist practices had helped them to deal with their life problems.
It is not easy for Maria to forget her painful past. If she really practised the methods as taught by Lama Tsultrim Allione, she will be able to accept and deal with her situation. I sincerely hope that Maria will further deepen her practice of Dharma after completing the course at InsightLA in Santa Monica.
A lot of celebrities now are turing to Buddhism to solve their problems because Buddhism is the only religion that provides them with an explanation for what is going on in life and a solution as well. Blind faith does not work that good nowadays and people want answers and not just solutions anymore for their problems. I hope that Maria Shriver finds a solution to her problems and at the same time start her spiritual journey. It's about time she starts going that way.
