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!

Thats my favorite book! i do love all of his books!

Thich Nhat Hahn has recently returned home to Vietnam because he may be close to the end of his physical days.... so in thinking about that here is a video on life and death. I especially loved how he speaks of the wave at the end, the wave is water so it never dies, it simply remains as water. Namaste!
