After doing some basic research (noble eightfold path, five noble truths), I've decided that I want to learn more. So far, I agree with what I've read and if extensive (not going to call myself a Buddhist if I know nothing about it) research continues to make sense to me, I could see myself practicing the religion/philosophy. I'm hoping it cures my depression as well.

So I ask totse: Where to now? Can you recommend any books? Are any of you willing to talk extensively with me on the subject?

Loving kindness to all y'all.

I'm getting started, and I'm trying to simplify everything. The first step on the eightfold path.. to see things as they are, reduce unnecessary clutter surrounding all things and.. so forth. It really is simple, I just need to see it that way all of the time.

I submitted a document on Buddhism to be posted in the religious listings some days ago but it hasn't been posted. I don't know why, perhaps it's because I just took words out of books and put them together and didn't quote the sources. Whatever.

It was on the 4 Noble Truths and the 8fold Path, not just listing what each one is but describing them and how they relate to eachother.

I've also got one other thing currently typed up, The 12 Links of Dependent Origination. It too has a commentary for each of the 12 links and is fairly long. This was taken from one single book but I forgot to write down the source.

Basically I was just writing and putting all this together for my own benefit, so there wasn't much need for citing the sources. I have only recently decided to share some of what I've gathered together. Simply because I think so many of the texts are repatative, merely re-written with a different commentary by a different person.

While I think it's valuable to get interpretations from different, educated people, I think if some of it was grouped together it would be easier to study, so this is what I've done.

Anyways, If you want to read what I got, my e-mail is [email protected], I think the stuff is really to long to post on the board.
