Hello to all!

I've been been studying and practicing Buddhism for just a few years now. Or at least I do hope so! There's a local sitting group I join from time to time and a Zen center I like for retreats. I've recently read What the Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula and found that very useful - including the selections from the Pali Canon included in the edition I read. I'd like to explore the Pali Canon further and already see a number of very helpful suggestions on how to do that after just glancing through a few forums here. So thanks for that! I'm sure I'll have questions as I explore further...

Many thanks!
Perdu

The classic! That was my first Dhamma book that I read.

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!

Welcome perdu !

If you want to find out about the Pali Canon, check out the Study group and the literature suggestions here. I'm sure you will find enough to read ;-)

You might also enjoy some Dhammatalks from Ajahn Brahmali, since i personally feel that he puts a heavy emphasis on sticking closely to the suttas in his talks

(See his talk: "Benefits of reading the suttas")
