The practices being discussed here are being borrowed from Buddhism which is a pagan religion.
Christians don,t borrow from eastern mysticism.

You don't get to say what a Christian is or what they do.

A Christian is someone who believes in and proclaims that Jesus Christ is their lord and savior. Nothing else is required. Certainly not YOUR rules.

"Christians don,t borrow from eastern mysticism."

Why not?

Why wouldn't a Christian "borrow" other useful practices, methods, etc.?

I recall reading that many Christian practices, had roots in previous religious symbology.

So if Christianity borrowed, why could not a Christian?
