okay here's the points
-i have to learn the procedure of the ceromony. i have to pray
twice a day, morning and night.
-classes every saturday for general followers
-classes on some sundays for teens
-classes in malaysia for all.
-collect 10 dollars on entering the religion
-encourage donations which will "help you advert bad karmas"
-learn about "san bao" or the "three treasure", that of course
we cannot say.
my mother is one of the better respected figure in the circle
and hence people passes the money to her, in which she have to
account for to an elder or some sort..
everything seems skeptical to me. i cant bring myself to put
faith here
Wah...hmmm seems time consuming and expensive..
Is your mum paying for all these? If she is then just continue
with it, and if it takes up too much of your time, then make
up excuses (school work, projects, etc.) to get out of some of it.
No point straining the relationship with your parents over
this.
From your post, I'm assuming that your parents are very strong
believers of this religion. It'll be very difficult to change their
minds.
You'll have to let your parents know that this is taking up too
much of your time and you need to concentrate on other stuff. Get
her to give you some space first.
