My faith is experienced on living experience itself... That is the Buddhist way.
However, trust is wholesome, assuming you trust your neighbours. I trust mine!
As for something believed to be not happening because one hasn't experienced it, then that leaves doubts; and also leaves unknowns.
Would you assume all of my last 2 weeks posts are BS: about ...[text shortened]... land, my pictures posted, my experience; purely because you haven't experienced it??

hand experience and only then will you trust.
Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed?
Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

Voluntarily, I presume?
I thought it was a one way street and four buses were obscuring my view.
The car hit me travelling about 50 km/h,I rolled up onto the windshield. Not a scratch on me, the ambulance was not required. Not the slightest bit of pain , only a slight shock.
The point was that after the police saw I was alright they proceeded to give me a fine for jaywalking.
That story sums up my a karma to a tee. I got like a hundred stories like that, where I faced danger of some sort, avoided the percieved danger only to get embroiled in some other drama.

But surely, your faith is not based solely upon life experience. Because then it would not be faith.
My faith is based on things unseen; but is augmented by real-life experiences.[/b]Yes, but most of life IS unseen-the best things anyway, or so a bumper sticker tells me 🙂
(For example, love, friendship, stuff like that.
Stuff like that is invisible)

My faith and testament are on what I have experienced.
Why would 'faith' not be based upon experience, or is the meaning of faith now mis-used; same as people using 'jealous' instead of 'envious', when the true meaning of 'jealous' is that one doesn't or 'may know' 'the outcome of an event'. 😉
