As someone who was born a a buddhist and comes from a family of buddhists, I have to say that the western view of buddhism is very wrong. It is marketed as a way to relive your stress, calm your mind and a lot of emphasis is spent on meditation and 'feel good' teachings. Buddhism is a lot more than that. If you are not getting the answers that you are seeking with meditation, then go deeper. Street relief, take deep breath meditation is not what true meditation is supposed to achieve. Deep layers of meditation, which can achieve ego-death are not calming but rather unsettling. You should also try to read up some texts like Mulamadhyamakakarika(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C5%ABlamadhyamakak%C4%81rik%C4%81 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C5%ABlamadhyamakak%C4%81rik%...) by Nagarjuna(who lived around the time of the buddha). There are many english translations of this book ( the path of the middle way) and it takes a logical approach to subjects like time, space, entities etc.
