For the past several weeks, I've been looking into Buddhism and Hinduism. I'd like to find a book (or two) to read more about the lifestyle.
Wow. That is a lot of writing. Do you want the whole story of my year at the monastery? Or my whole Buddha consciousness philosophy?

If you give me some guidance on what you are interested in knowing about.

Please remember there are multiple sects, of the Buddhas philosophy. Just like there are a lot of types of Christians.

I really encourage you to rent "Little Buddha" on DVD. It gives a great overview and it is an extremely enjoyable movie.

I looked into Hinduism myself. The problem with that one is my lifestyle did not mesh with the Hindu system of living. Nothing against it. Just not for me.

What I ended up with is a combination of Buddhism, Taoism and a few other ways combined with an assertive attitude.

Yes you can be assertive in a loving, compassionate, and detached way.

What can I share with you, Cheery Cherry?
