The Planet's Sangha: Buddhist discussions, thought, etc.

[knight]

There are loads of books as well as info online. In fact it could be very overwhelming. I think the common mistakes that people make is to become rigid about their discovery and become caught up with the three major thoughts of Buddhism. I always say just dive in with out much thought. The Buddha says that Buddhism can not be forced, the mind needs to want it.
A great book to start would be Thich Nhat Hanh The Heart of The Buddha's Teaching. A very easy comprehensive book..
Enjoy it.
Namaste!
