New to the site, new to Buddhism

New to the idea of getting external help, too. I have several questions about this path after read this Q&A: - https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/15535/new-to-buddhism - https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/17540/how-to-get-to-nirvana What attracted me to buddhism was - Meditation: Practice it many times on Padmasana because I thought that was the unique meditation form. Then I knew I can meditate over a skateboard, too. - Mindfulness: Dreaming about achieving it. - Hatha Yoga: Practiced it many times. - Ninjutsu: Practiced it several months on Bujinkan Dojo school (not a recommendation to go there). The concepts I got from Japanese culture were great though. They are attached to Buddhism but I think they misimpreted the message. - Kriya yoga: Autobiography of a yogi. Some of my greater achievements: - Leave drugs - Leave alcohol - Became vegan - Practiced a lot in the non-attachment in objects and people too. These questions are general, mine are more precise. Please be open minded about my questions, they are very real. - *Was Buddha an artist of our times?* **Edit:** I know a lot of teachers, I don't know any monks I can remember. - What's special about Buddha? - Why should someone follow him? - I see this like being someone else. Is this a bad concept about Buddhism? - Why he has *in fist sight* all the answers? - I read that is some kind of comparison about Buddhism schools and Cristians religions, but I learned that Buddhism is not a religion but a lifestyle. Is it or not? - About Yin and Yang, is that part of Buddhism? - The 12 universal laws are part of Buddhism? That's all for the moment. Oh, I forgot, the most important one: About this little part of me you could read, is there a school recommendation? Thanks for reading.
