Actually,CryoBuddhism is still in the concept stage.I dont yet have a websight for it and have not gotten any followers yet eather./,....I have not yet fully developed a Doctrene for CyoBuddism but I have designed a "logo"for it. The"logo"is a circle with an Ankh in the middle.The Ankh is as tall and as wide as the circle itsself.On each side of the top of the Ankh is the weel of Doctrene.Underneath the "arms"of the Ankh are 2 lotus blossoms,one on each side.And in the center of the loop at the top of the Ankh is a snowflake to represent Cryopreservation./ As for putting it into practice,a vegetarian diet is encuraged out of respect for "the creatures we share the Earth with"and for Life in general.Smoking(tobacco or otherwise)is prohibited because it cuts peoples lives short.Drinking beverages with an Alcohol content of more than 12 percent is strongly discuraged as with other forms of Buddhism.And since people go through the cycle of re-birth so many times befor reaching Nervana or going to the "Western Paridise"and being a helpless little Baby all ove again is(in my opinion)a very uncomfortable and frightening experience,the practitioners of CryoBuddhism must be cryopeserved to avoid it. Cryobuddhism considers Cryonics to be Reincarnation Through Cryopreservation.Reincarnation of the Brain instead ov the soul.Cryobuddhism also teaches love,respect,compassion,and admieration for the good parts of Nature and strongly encurages the development of Enviornmentally Friendly Technology.

I confess, I couldn't be classed as an avid follower of either buddhism or cryonics yet. However I am really interested to see how you've combined the two- would you mind elaborating on cryoBuddhism and how exactly you put it into practice?

There have been a few new religions based on Cryonics and Transhumanity in the past 20 years such as Venturism and Cryobaptist (Cryonics as a Religion) and I have been interested in Cryonics for about 14 years before becoming a practicing Buddhist so I came up with an idea for a radical new type of Buddhism. Its called CryoBuddhism.The Zen style of Buddhism mixed with the concept of Cryonics and Transhumanity./ Buddhism has been combined with other religions before such as Taoism,Shrineism,Confuchism,and even Humanism.So MY concept is not so off-the-wall weird. Im just coming up with a new Buddhist concept.A very Radical one,but I think its a very good idea.In fact,a high ranking member of the American Cryonics Society is a practicing Buddhist.
