I studied existentialism and phenomenology for many years, partly because I thought it was the closest Western philosophy version of Buddhism. So I enjoyed your article very much! It's a very lucid account.
My views have changed somewhat. Although…
Buddhist but not a good example of one. I teach philosophy and psychology, have 3 teens, somewhat of a computer geek, photography is a hobby, ran several meditation groups in different cities until after my kids were born.
