Tiger Woods says he'll turn to Buddhism

"People probably don't realize it, but I was raised a Buddhist,
and I actively practiced my faith from childhood until I drifted away
from it in recent years,"
Woods said during Friday's televised apology, his first public appearance
in nearly three months.

"In therapy I've learned the importance of looking at my spiritual life
and keeping in balance with my professional life," Woods said.
"I need to regain my balance and be centered so I can save the things
that are most important to me, my marriage and my children."

Woods addressed this so called samsara — the Sanskrit word
for the cycle of suffering — during his news conference.
"Buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves
causes an unhappy and pointless search for security," he said.
"It teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint.
Obviously I lost track of what I was taught."
