hey, im wanting to look into Buddism
i was just wondering if there are any Buddists on the boards?
If so do you know any good, true sites that can tell me about the religion? Or a book i can read that will inform me of the beliefs etc etc involved in Buddism.

I'm sure you mean Budhism. But buddism does sound like a religion I'd subscribe to as well :D

Okay the next book is AWESOME. It'll explain a lot. I've got a BA in eastern religions, but my friend I went to grad school with had this book and i swiped it from her. She's a PhD in Buddhist Ethics now. So she knows her shit.
Anyway, awesome book, Buddha for Beginners. It's written like a graphic novel / comic book. So easy to read and understand.
