From Buddhist Meditation to Jesus Christ: My Testimony

Prefer YouTube? Watch it there.

I spent 2 years in Buddhist meditation before I gave my life to Jesus Christ. In 2019 I woke up with my lungs full of blood clots and no idea how to keep living, and I went looking for something to hold me together. What I found first was Buddhism—its meditation gave me real relief, until the day its teachings failed the one test I needed them to pass. Then, alone one night, I read the cry of Christ from the cross in the Gospel of Matthew, and the thing I’d been reaching for all along turned out to be a Person.
