Here is an essay I've written about immortality. I am aware that God is not a buddhist concept, but I believe you will find many aspects of this essay that are strikingly similar to concepts in buddhism. Either link below is fine, they are both the same content.

yes. I even like that phrase. letting go of expectations. Im not wild about getting to obsessed over words in a conversation but buddhism is very deep and its hard to really fathom its nuisances.

There's also translation issues.

Like mind in Chinese means heart mind. So, when Buddhism refers to the mind they're kind of referring to the whole nervous system not just the brain and especially the nerve clusters in the heart center (heart chakra in the subtle energy system).

But yeah we're also meditating on very subtle things that a lot of people don't pay attention to. Buddhism is good at delineating those things and we end up not even having the language for them often in English.
