How Do I Respect My Father’s View?

Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Bethesda Chevy Chase

Q: My father lives in California. He’s older, he’s disabled. He’s not very healthy and he’s really strong in his faith in Christianity…When I go home, he asks me questions about am I saved, and what do I really believe and I find it really uncomfortable because I know what he wants me to say and I know that he’s worried that I’ll go to hell and I’m not born again…And so right now up to this point, I try to deflect, I try to be respectful, and I’ve tried to ignore. So I want to show up the best way I can for him, to honor him and also to ensure that I hold myself in a way that I respect him fully. And not feel just some sort of frustration.
