I have been into the woo since about ‘83 after traveling around in India. I went to Dhama Girii(near Pune) for a Vipassna meditation class for about a month. That was what brought me into the woo.
Cool!
I was into theoretical woo for a few years before I had meditation experiences, first triggered by a coach we had.
Then around the mid eighties I discovered that I had a Buddhist in me that wanted out, but it took until I discovered a local temple in 93 before I could meet the real thing :-)
Its been lots of woo variants since then, but the core for me is still that tradition!
